The City of Shakopee is applying for a DNR CPL Metro Grant to restore parts of Memorial Park to its native prairie land and and stabilize the riverfront to protect the vegetation. This funding aligns with the city's Master Parks, Trail and Recreation Plan which was approved in 2019.

 

The estimated cost of this project is $220.000.

A 10% match is required. This project is part of the Riverfront Stabilization and Cultural Corridor Project and  is included in the 2021 - 2025 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP PA-22-10) to meet match funding requirements.
