HDC gives Children’s Museum Director permission to proceed with proposed flower mural

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater Historic District Commission listened to a proposal from Children’s Museum of Branch County Executive Director Shana Grife on Wednesday night to install a decorative art attachment on the building.

The projected art work will include a mural of flowers on the Hanchett Street side of the building with a large sunflower on the front of the museum.

She estimated the engineering drawings would cost $6,000.

Commission Chair Randall Hazelbaker felt Grife should pursue her idea.

City Planner Jake VanBoxel also gave the idea a thumbs up.

The Commission approved a motion which allows Grife to proceed with getting further engineering reports. Final approval from the H.D.C. would also be needed before the art work goes up.
