This project would not have been possible without him. I would also like to thank two of the best instructors I’ve ever had, Eric Schuchardt and Shawn Kelly. Eric and Shawn have passion for landscape architecture that is translated in every lecture, critique, and studio they are involved in. Thank you for sharing your wide range of knowledge with me. To my studio pals: thank you for making the long nights a little less tough and a lot more fun. Finally, thank you to my family, who have been my number one cheerleaders since day one. abstract The City of Wausau continues to develop and grow during a time when many other small Midwestern cities are experiencing a decline in population. To attract new families and to increase the quality of life for residents, members of the Wausau Department of Planning, Community, and Economic Developments sees it as an important step for the city to create their first-ever Public Arts Master Plan. This capstone document explores how public art can be incorporated in the city to enhance the public realm, connect community, spur economic growth, and strengthen relationships in Wausau, Wisconsin.

  • The Ordeal of Immigration in Wausau Since 1970 the Majority of Population Growth in the United States Has Come from Immigrants and Their Descendants
    April 1994 The Ordeal of Immigration in Wausau Since 1970 the majority of population growth in the United States has come from immigrants and their descendants. Demographers predict that this trend will intensify in the new century if federal laws remain unchanged. For a look at a possible American future, consider the fate of a small midwestern city by Roy Beck It all began simply enough, when a few churches and individuals in Wausau, Wisconsin, decided to resettle some Southeast Asian refugees during the late 1970s. To most residents, it seemed like a nice thing to do. Nobody meant to plant the seeds for a social transformation. But this small and private charitable gesture inadvertently set into motion events that many residents today feel are spinning out of control. Wausau—the county seat of the nation’s champion milk-producing county—has learned that once the influx starts, there’s little chance to stop it. Regardless of how many newcomers failed to find jobs in this north-central Wisconsin city of 37,500, or how abraded the social fabric became, the immigrant population just kept growing. In little more than a decade the immigrant families’ children have come to make up almost a quarter of the elementary schools’ enrollment, crowding facilities past their limits—and there’s no peak in sight. The majority of immigrant students are Southeast Asians, and most of these are from the nomadic Hmong mountain tribes of Laos, which unsuccessfully tried to prevent a Communist takeover of their homeland some twenty years ago. Seventy percent of the immigrants and their descendants are receiving public assistance, because the local labor market has not been able to accommodate them.
