City Seeks Community Input on Parks Master Plan

The City of Mendota Heights has begun a?*Master Planning*?process of the City's Park System.

The purpose of the *Master Plan *is to establish a clear,?*15-year vision*?for all of Mendota Heights parks, open and public spaces. This vision will guide all future maintenance, improvements and potential development within the park system to ensure Mendota Heights parks are well positioned to meet both current and future community wants and needs.

This planning process began in the winter of 2024 and will be completed in early 2025.

Community input is vital to this planning process! Your opinions and community expertise will create a vision that best reflects your community. There are three opportunities to participate right now:


* *Short Survey*: Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on the Mendota Heights Park system.
* *Mapping Activity*: Drop a pin and tell us about the parks you are most interested in.
* *Idea Wall*: Upload images of park amenities or facilities you would love to see in our park system.

Partners in Energy
Partners in Energy Action Team

The Mendota Heights? Xcel Energy Partners in Energy Action Team held its first workshop this week to begin the process of developing the City?s Energy Action Plan.

Partners in Energy is a program developed by Xcel Energy that provides tools and resources to support communities in achieving their energy goals. When completed, this plan will serve as a road map to help our community save energy, combat climate change, and increase cost savings.

The Action Team is comprised of residents, local business owners, City staff, and Natural Resources Commission members. Are you interested in being a part of this exciting new initiative? The Energy Action Team is still looking for community members from a wide and diverse range of backgrounds, including students, to take part in the planning process.
