FINALISTS!!

Dear 2009 Great Places applicants-



The Staff and I want to extend thanks for all the hard work you did in submitting the Great Places proposals for this year. We had many outstanding applications for the upcoming year. I want to thank you for all your hard work and the extra time you spent preparing and submitting your proposals.



Your time, effort and hard work were shown in the high quality of the proposals. All of the places put a lot of time planning and volunteer hours to submit their proposals.



After much consideration the Citizens Advisory Board chose six places as the finalists for the bus tour that will take place September 29th and 30th. They are as follows:



Cedar Valley Alliance

Iowa City/Coralville/North Liberty

City of Marion

Turkey River Corridor


Tama County

Van Buren County



The Citizens Advisory Board took into consideration the limited amount of state funding for the proposed projects; the limited staff available for providing resources; the readiness factor of places to move forward; and the adequacy of secured funding to maintain and fund the proposed projects all were factored into the selection criteria.



The staff also wants to recognize the efforts of the other places that were not selected. Rolfe, Albia and Lee County made good proposals and will be encouraged to continue in the process of making their place a better place to work, play and make a living.



I will be in contact with your Great Places committee head to finalize the itinerary for the bus tour for September 29th and 30th within the next few days. I will also suggest times, and the format of the formal presentations in your place.



If you have any questions, please contact me.



Again thanks for your hard work and Good Luck,



Francis Boggus

Iowa Great Places Coordinator
