The city's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the Memorial Park Bridge and Trail project (PA-19-09) to replace the bridge and construct a trail adjacent to the bridge through Memorial Park to complete the missing gap in the Minnesota Valley State Trail.

 

The city was notified in January 2019 that the city was a recipient of a $100,000 trail grant from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) for this project (see attached press release). The attached agreement outlines the terms of the donation between the city and the SMSC.

Budget Impact:
The $100,000 SMSC grant amount will be applied to the overall project funding as part of the cost sharing/grant funding identified in the CIP for this project.
