Montevideo, Minnesota

After recent floods left 5% of Montevideo's housing stock in need of demolition or relocation, the city, through it's Economic Development Authority (EDA) and Housing Commission, began an "Affordable Housing Program" which created over 110 housing units. The Montevideo V.A. Community Based Outpatient Clinic is a 7,460 square foot clinic, which serves over 1,600 veterans and is still growing. The Cultural Diversity Mobile Community Art Program invites youth to become involved in research about the various cultures within the community and, after leaming about those cultures, to create works of art that portray the lives, struggles and dreams of those segments of the population. Once those pieces are completed, they become pieces of community art that are displayed on city owned vehicles (buses, dump trucks, street sweepers) and in other locations around the community, such as they community center and city hall.
