The wall is broken up by entry driveways and gates and dips into the ConAgra property to allow for landscaping. It will be the applicant's decision as to how much of this wall is to be used for the applicant's mural piece. The mural is recommended to be no less in length than 20 feet, but this is only a suggestion. The mural size is to be dictated by the artist and the wall dimensions.​The Oakdale ConAgra-Hunts' Food production plant in cooperation with the City of Oakdale.Award(s​): All materials needed for wall prep and materials needed in actual mural creation will be paid (reimbursed) in full by ConAgra.
