Staff from the Dakota County Office of Planning recently attended a Parks and Recreation Commission
meeting to provide an update on the County's planning process for a new regional park in Empire
Township. The property is located just south and east of the UMore lands. The County provided an
overview of what sort of properties border the future park site, what amenities they are considering, what
sort of natural resources will be key to the park, and other general information. Parks and Recreation
Director Schultz attended planning meetings to assist the County in developing concept plans for the park
and will provide an overview of the plans that have been created.
The County will be holding an open house to present the concept plans to the public on Monday, April 18
from 5:30 pm — 7:30 pm at the Farmington Library.
