Waits Mill Museum Project: Final Draft Report
by Jones & Jones Architects
December 1, 2009
At the direction of
the City Council, the Waitsburg Community Revitalization Committee (WCRC) held a public meeting to get some ideas as to what might be done. These ideas included everything from a
museum to an amphitheater to a fish hatchery. A Request for Proposals has been written for a professional plan which will gather additional public input and will set us on a path
toward eventual reuse of the site. This RFP is on the agenda for this week's council meeting. If approved, we should be in a position to award the contract in February.
The plan will be used to attract future funding and will keep future work more efficient by ensuring that it builds
toward the eventual plan.
The Sherwood Trust has indicated that the $37,000 grant we received may be "repurposed" to pay for this work. We plan
to meet with their representatives next week to formalize this
In addition, there are unspent funds remaining in the Kinsman Foundation grant, of which the City received $27,000.
When a final accounting is received from our roofing contractor, the Foundation will be notified of the balance remaining. They have indicated that they will also consider
repurposing, but have not promised anything so far.
