Description
This was a citizen-driven project that began in 2019 when David Robinson approached Stafford County Economic Development to be a fiscal sponsor for a mural project. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, EcoDevo was able to accept donations and secure matching grant funds for the proposed project. In 2020, Artist Inga Ojala painted a mural depicting settlers coming to the area. To learn more about the mural, watch the video below.
