Project Update – January 6, 2017

Thank you to those who participated in the community engagement process and at the public hearing for the Lake Nokomis Community Playground. The concept plan was approved by the Planning Committee of the MPRB Board following a public hearing on January 4, 2017. It will go before the full Board for final approval on January 25. Next steps for this project including awarding the construction contract and starting construction. We will be watching the weather this Spring and if conditions look favorable for completing construction by early June we will start work as soon as weather allows. Per public input, if it does not appear we will be able to complete the playground before the end of the school year we will wait until after the Monarch Festival to begin construction. We will update this website as soon as a determination for construction schedule is made.
