(Atlantic, Iowa) – Atlantic Mayor Grace Garrett, Wednesday evening, updated the City Council on the Bull Creek Improvement Project, which was selected during a Mayor’s Design Workshop in Ames last year, in partnership with Iowa State University’s College of Design and ISU Extension and Outreach.

Bull Creek has been a topic of discussion for several years. In August 2024, the Mayor said the Workshop she attended was an amazing experience and a good opportunity for the City of Atlantic.

The Iowa Mayors Design Workshop served as a space to identify and address complex design issues communities in Iowa face. The two-day workshop brought together mayors and community leaders from six Iowa towns to connect with ISU faculty, research and extension staff, and design professionals from local firms to enhance the vitality of their regions for current and future generations.
