As the City of Bondurant moves forward with the construction of a water tower, the City Council determined that the location lends itself well to become a gateway branding opportunity. The Bondurant City Council hired Group Creative Services to petition the design of three artists for a water tower public art project. The artist generates only the design, as the water tower contractor will be painting the design from a large stencil.
The water tower will be located along NE 88th Street. Construction of the water tower will begin in 2023.
The Bondurant Parks and Recreation reviewed three designs during their January 19, 2023 board meeting. The Bondurant Parks and Recreation Board voted and recommended to City Council the design submitted by Jennifer Leatherby with slight modifications.
The Bondurant City Council approved the design on February 6, 20203 with minor changes, which showcases a swooping, geometric design, which will be visible from the interstate, incorporating the city’s “B” logo and its trademark colors of blue, yellow, and green. Leatherby’s design will creatively communicate Bondurant’s branding to the public, including vehicles looking at the tower from the Interstate 80 corridor. The design captures the community’s vibrancy and communicates the history of Bondurant as a railroad town that has grown its trail network.
Marketa Oliver City Administrator of Bondurant acknowledged the water tower public art project on LinkedIn, “Excited to see our water tower become a reality and with fantastic art on it, it will be a beacon, letting travelers on I-80 know to stop by and check out all the great things going on in the City of Bondurant!”
The City wishes to thank Group Creative Services and artist Jennifer Leatherby. The water tower will begin construction in the summer 2023.
