Creative Corridors Coalition has reserved the Web site www.creative corridors.org, which will be operational soon."The NEA award shows national acknowledgment of the merits of the ideas for Business 40 improvements advocated here by your author and by the Arts Council's Public Art and Design Committee for over two years now. The ideas still need ongoing local support: vocal, financial, and inspirational.
