Civil Rights Trail Committee Request Funding for development of a mural series on W. 15th St. depicting local African American history • Individual murals will cost in the range of $10,000 to $15,000 each • The community will be involved in helping select topics for the murals through a series of meetings. The first such meeting was held Oct. 28 at the Carver Center. • Based on the first meeting, a depiction of W. 15th in its heyday would be the first mural. • The Trail Committee will appoint a subcommittee to schedule meetings; solicit buildings for murals; select artists, develop artist contract, etc. • The Committee will ensure that buildings have owners signed permission/contract; are inspected for condition issues affecting a mural and that building is properly prepared for the application of a mural.
