Community collaboration enhances McGregor’s 300 Block

Submitted by admin on Thu, 10/09/2025 - 12:23

On Oct. 4, McGregor residents, visitors and community organizations celebrated the completion of what’s been termed the “300 Block Enhancement Project,” encompassing collaborative improvements to Artesian and Pocket parks as well as the patio area behind the McGregor Public Library. Here, Jenifer Westphal, Duane Boelman, Terri Strutt and Maria Brummel listen as McGregor Economic Development Director Brandi Crozier speaks at the event. (Photos by Audrey Posten)

As part of the 300 Block Enhancement Project, representatives from the Alexander McGregor Endowment presented $15,000 to the city of McGregor for improvements to Pocket Park.

In lieu of a ribbon cutting, 300 Block celebration attendees were encouraged to weave streamers through the new ornamental fencing. “Each color represents all the different people that were involved to make this project happen,” said Brandi Crozier. Pictured are Michael and Sara Petrie. (Photo by Audrey Posten)

Jenifer and Jeff Westphal were honored to help with improvements to Artesian Park, many of which were made possible with donations memorializing the late Joanne Collins-Stewart, Jenifer’s mother.

Taryn and Gretel Moser enjoyed viewing the story walk organized by the McGregor Public Library in Pocket Park.

In Pocket Park, next to the library, grass has replaced gravel. Trees will also be planted in the space to add beauty and shade.

As part of the 300 Block Enhancement Project, there is a new patio area behind the McGregor Public Library, which people enjoyed during Saturday's event.

A new sign was one of many improvements to Artesian Park.
