Implementing the New Century Community Program: An Evaluation of the First Round of Funding is the first of a two-part report that discusses the implementation and evaluation of The New Century Community Program (NCCP), a partnership of seven state cultural agencies working together through the Maine Cultural Affairs Council to provide a large-scale arts and cultural development program to Maines communities. This report evaluates how the initial funding for the program was used and whether the funding helped to realize the anticipated public benefits. Case studies from the New Century Community Program and Analysis of Recommendations for Future Evaluation supplement this report.
