AS THE CHANHASSEN TREE BOARD
WHEREAS, the State has invested over $50 million in local
outdoor recreation projects, which has been matched by over $57
million in local government funds, and
WHEREAS, the State program has been significant incentive to
local governments to undertake needed park acquisition and
development projects, and

WHEREAS, parks play an important role in many communities'
economic development efforts by improving the desirability of the

generations.
