SUMMARY
On July 2, 2019, Council approved concepts for three new heritage art pieces in the downtown Heritage Plaza. Two of the pieces are currently in the design phase and nearing fabrication: one honoring the Japanese American history at the Plaza site, and another honoring Hayward’s Indigenous heritage. Staff applied for and received a $20,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Arts to supplement the budget of these pieces, due to the size, scope, and increasing material costs. Staff is seeking Council authorization to accept this grant funding.
