ARM has been established to promote the design and construction of a Museum Park (Park) on City land which will • include new museums to replace the existing facilities, as well as provide facilities for the Logging and Timber Products Museum, a Native American Museum, and similar facilities. The parties to this MOU recognize this opportunity to cooperate in providing an educational, cultural, and economic benefit to Redding and the northern interior of California. Through the combined efforts of ARM, the Boards of the Members of ARM (Boards) , the City, volunteers, and staff, substantial planning and studies have been done to further these goals .
