On Thursday evening, Sylvan Township in Cass County voted to award a $129,500 Legacy Amendment funded grant to Nienow Cultural Consultants. A total of 13 companies had sent proposals to complete this project. NCC was selected based on direct work experience in the geography of the project, time allocated to the various deliverables, staff lead and members of the team years of experience and listed experience on projects similar to the Comprehensive Literature Review and report, and the narrative approach to conducting the work. This project will be completed over the next year and represents a major new direction for research in Central Minnesota.
