  As the CEO of Lakeview Museum I was part of the leadership team that forged the way to build the Peoria Riverfront Museum. Caterpillar Inc was also a critical partner in the creation of the $140M/ seven acre unique cultural/corporate partnership in downtown Peoria, IL. This included a county-wide successful tax referendum that led to a $36M bond. The balance of the funding was raised from private sources, state and federal grants.
