Got some folks in Victoria upset about a new TIF-supported apartment development in the city's small downtown. Bonus angle: part of the proposed redevelopment is owned by former Vikings QB Rich Gannon.

Looks like Chaska is on the path to getting a Costco, next to Oak Ridge Conference Center. https://chaskamn.onbaseonline.com/ChaskaMN/1702AppNetAgenda/Documents/ViewDocument/Supporting%20Doc%20-%20CONCEPT%20PLAN%20-%20APPROVING%20THE%20CONCEPT%20PLAN%20FOR%20OAK%20RIDGE_RCS.pdf?meetingId=338&doc...

Somehow one of the two updated concepts for Chaska's City Square West redevelopment includes a private pool in the middle of the block. http://mn-chaska.civicplus.com/DocumentCenter/View/2443/03---CSW-Paseo-Models And, they've settled in some possible locations for a new library. http://mn-chaska.ci...

Yes, the City Square West plans are for the entire block -- the bank, post office, and strip mall would all be redeveloped.

Some initial concepts for downtown Chaska's City Square West redevelopment have been released. (West side of 41 between 3rd and 4th Streets across from the park).

Chanhassen approved the downtown apartment building/Aldi next to the dinner theater on Monday, and rezoned land at 212 and Powers Blvd. to keep the Avienda project moving forward. http://www.swnewsmedia.com/chanhassen_villager/news/local/chanhassen-city-council-approves-large-downtown-redevelopment/...

Looks like they've narrowed in on a final alignment for the 4 to 3 conversion of MN-41 in Chaska.

A couple of bits of news: Looks like MnDOT and local officials are closing on a 4-to-3 lane conversion for MN-41 in downtown Chaska, which should help the pedestrian friendliness of that stretch substantially. http://www.swnewsmedia.com/chaska_herald/news/local/three-lanes-considered-for-highway/art...
