Marion
Receives "Great Places" Memorandum of Understanding
Posted 22 February
2010
Iowa Great Places is an initiative of the Iowa Department of Cultural
Affairs that combines state resources and local assets to help
communities cultivate the unique qualities that make them special. The
Memorandums of Understanding signed today bring the state into
partnership with each of the following communities: Greater Cedar
Valley Alliance, Iowa City/Coralville/North Liberty, Marion, Tama
County, Turkey River Corridor, and Villages of Van Buren County.
The program asks Iowans to develop proposals that address seven unique
and authentic dimensions that make places special: engaging
experiences; rich, diverse populations and cultures; a vital, creative
economy; clean and accessible natural and built environments;
well-designed infrastructure; a shared attitude of optimism that
welcomes new ideas; and based on a diverse and inclusive cultural
mosaic.
The City of Marion has developed a community-wide visioning process
called Imagine 8. This process solicited more than 1,800 responses from
area residents to develop a clear picture of the community’s direction.
Eight ideas were selected from the 1,800 ideas submitted by
respondents. “All Trails Lead to Marion” focuses on Marion Square Park
as the center of community and recreational trails, parks, amphitheatre
and public art, connecting many of the Great 8 ideas to a seamless
destination point for residents and visitors alike.
