Summary

A visitor-center representative told the committee she has presented a proposal to the City of Ottawa and asked the tourism committee to be aware of the project to bring a children's museum to LaSalle County.

“Good morning. I'm Donna from the Ottawa Visitor Center. I am also and I'm working on a major project for Ottawa in LaSalle County. I am trying to bring in a children's museum to our area,” Donna said during the public-comment portion of the Aug. 15 meeting.

Why it matters: A children’s museum could expand family-oriented attractions and tie into the county’s tourism marketing; Donna said she had presented material to the City of Ottawa and wanted to share information with the tourism committee for awareness and future coordination.

Discussion and outcome: Donna presented the materials and left them with the committee; there was no formal committee vote or direction recorded at the meeting. Committee members thanked Donna and asked her to stay in touch.

Ending: The committee received the public comment and took no formal action during the meeting.
