4. SAMPLE MILESTONE ONE
(due in Week Two)
Fayetteville Museum Focus
Fayetteville, North Carolina has a population of 200,564 as of
2010 according to the census. Fayetteville is located in the
Sandhills which is the Western part of the Coastal Plain region,
on the Cape Fear River (Community Facts). The I-95 corridor
goes right through the heart of Fayetteville which is great for
those who love to travel (FCEDC). The population is believed
to be in excess of 210,000(United States Census Bureau, 2010)
now. The city has mostly moderate temperatures year round.
The winters are pretty mild with snow only occurring a few
days out of the year and the temperature in the high 50’s low
60’s. The summers are also considered to be hot with an average
temperature of at least 102. There seems to be a good blend of
races here in the city. Over 45% of the population is white and a
little more than 41% being African American. Hispanic, Asian
American, Native American, and other races make up the other
12% of the population here (United States Census Bureau,
2010).
Fayetteville does have a variety of major employers to choose
from just depends on what type of work you’re looking for. Fort
Bragg is the most popular job in the area. The town is known
for its military and its constantly growing each day. Coming in
a strong second place is Cumberland County School System.
The county has a total of 85 schools which is why the school
system is one of the major employers in the area. From teachers
to custodians each school can employ at least 50 or more staff
members with a total of over 6,000 employees. Goodyear tire
company, Cape Fear Valley Health System, Cumberland County
Government, Purolator and Fayetteville Technical Community
College are all at the top of the list for major jobs in the area

5. (community facts). The job market is very diverse and the
unemployment rate is at a low 4.5% (visit Fayetteville). The
median household income is 49,608 and a little more than 16%
of families were below the poverty line (United States Census
Bureau, 2010).
My proposal is for the museum to be centered on the arts and
culture. The city is filled with such a diverse group of people
mostly due to the army. I think that this museum will be a great
way for all the cultures in the area to learn about each other as
well as other cultures. Focusing on art and culture will bring
something new to the community. I would showcase all the
different types of art that shows what each culture is about. This
museum would bring new visitors to the city to see and learn
things they may not have known about some of the cultures in
our community and around the world. There are tons of people
who can learn something new from this type of museum. This
could also be a way to bring in more revenue to the city. I
would make it very budget friendly but the city could still gain.

Final Project Summary
A City Museum
Great cities are often known for great museums that are devoted
to many subjects.
Paris, France, has the Musée du Louvre; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
has the Museu Histórico
Nacional; and Chicago, Illinois, has the Museum of Science and
Industry. For your Final
Project, imagine that you have been chosen as the director of a
new museum dedicated
to your city.
Note: If you do not live in a city, focus on the place you live or
on a city that you know
about.
Milestone One - Due in Week Two
MUSEUM FOCUS
The local government has decided to build a museum devoted to
your city. However,
the city officials would like to focus the museum on a singular
theme or perspective.
The members have narrowed the choice of themes to the

7. following four:
o Industry and Commerce
o History and Natural History
o Science and Technology
o Arts and Culture
To Complete this Milestone you are to:
1.Offer a brief description of your city and its residents
(geographical location, size, a
breakdown of ethnicities & classes, major employers etc.)
2.Decide on your museum’s focus (Industry and Commerce,
History, Science and
Technology, or Arts and Culture). Describe concrete ways in
which this focus is evident
in or important to your city.
3.Explain how the focus you chose answers the needs of or
represents the citizens of
your city.
4. Describe how this focus is appealing to visitors from outside
your city.

Milestone Two - Due on Week Three:

8. MUSEUM CONTENT
Here we begin to look at how this new museum will provide
important resources to the
citizens of your city. The city officials would like you to decide
on an exciting permanent
exhibit that is consistent with the chosen theme of your museum
by:
1.Describing what you feel should become the most important
permanent exhibit in your
new museum.
2.Explaining how this permanent exhibit will use objects,
themes, and ideas to
represent the citizens who make up the city and/or will meet the
needs of the city’s
residents.
Milestone Three - Due in Week Four:
MUSEUM SITE
To insure a maximum flow of visitors to your museum the city
council has also
narrowed down the possible site of your museum to three areas.
They are:
1.An existing block with numerous low income housing units,
including a midrise
building with subsidized housing. The block cuts off two areas
that have seen an
increase in investment, including boutique shops, restaurants,
and housing

9. redevelopment. Many people in the two neighborhoods would
like to see the two areas
"connected" by the museum development.
2. A block near the waterfront and near other cultural venues.
The block contains an historic building that would be
demolished for the proposed
museum, which is designed by a famous architect. The historic
building is architecturally
significant in its own right but is run down and would need
major renovations to fit a
museum.
3. A plot of land near a newly constructed highway. A farmer
recently sold the land, and
much of it is zoned for new housing developments and large
retail stores. Although the
area of land has been cleared for development, some groups
think that there should be
more time spent on an environmental impact study. The land is
in a large watershed
area that drains to a distant but vital body of water.

As the director, you must:
1.Choose the museum's site from the options offered.
2 Find and summarize at least two articles which help to justify

10. and support your choice
of museum site (You will be asked to download and complete
anannotated bibliography
worksheet of these newly found articles).
3.Explain the links between the type of museum and the chosen
site.
4.Identify at least one opposing viewpoint related to the site
you select.
5.Address the opposing viewpoint and explain why it is not
relevant, or explain how you
can accommodate that viewpoint in the site selection.
Please be sure to read the specific instructions for each of these
Milestones contained
within your weekly assignment menus.
And finally, in Week 5 you will pull all three Final Project
Milestones together into one
document, make any necessary revisions, and incorporate any
needed Instructor
Feedback to produce a Final Museum Proposal which you will
present to the City
Council.
