AdministratorÓs Report September 10, 2025 ADMINISTRATION Over the course of this next year, city staff, residents, and stakeholders will be collaborating with the U of MN's Resilient Communities Project and Minnesota Design Center through the Empowering Small Minnesota Communities (ESMC) program. The goal of the program is to help small Minnesota communities identify opportunities to capitalize on their assets through infrastructure projects that support and enhance community vitality, identity, and resilience. Funding for the partnership is provided by the Minnesota State Legislature. The focus of the ESMC partnership will be on downtown redevelopment, residential development on vacant parcels in the city, parks and trails, and connections to the lakes and other amenities. An advisory committee of residents and other stakeholders will guide the process. Stay tuned for updates on community input meetings.
