We’re excited to share the goals that will guide the McCook Creative District over the next 5 years.
Chosen by our community, these goals are the stepping stones to a bigger, brighter future for our district.
Each one is designed with intention, creating a solid foundation for growth and opening doors to exciting possibilities.
It’s the perfect starting point for even more creative opportunities to come in McCook.
Enhance the Visual Identity of the Creative District’s Public Spaces and Infrastructure.
