I’ve had the pleasure of serving on the Economic Development Grants Ad-Hoc Committee, where we focus on managing funding that helps grow and beautify our community.
One of the most visible results of our work? Those gigantic flower baskets downtown—a real passion project championed by Councilmember Rick Shaffer. We were excited to support and help bring that idea to life because it adds color, charm, and a warm welcome to our city center.
We’ve also reviewed and recommended grants that have boosted the Duvall Farmer’s Market, Sandblast by Duvall Foundation for the Arts (DFA), the Duvall Music Crawll, and more—projects that directly strengthen the cultural and economic life of our downtown.
It’s these kinds of projects—big and small—that make Duvall a special place to live, work, and visit.
