State sales tax funding: A start for county parks
Shannon Fiecke of the Shakopee Valley News reports:
More than a half-million dollars is headed for Scott County parks from the state’s new sales tax fund, but it won’t be enough to open the long idle Spring Lake Regional Park.
Instead, the county is opting to invest state dollars in the newly acquired Cedar Lake Farm in Helena Township and develop a strategy for acquiring land in the Blakeley Bluffs area.
