Father Hennepin Bluff Park Improvements Design
Please note some of these improvements have been shifted to avoid disturbing historic artifacts revealed by an archeological investigation in June
The design plans are scheduled to be finalized this fall, then bid for construction. If the MPRB receives an acceptable bid, construction of these park improvements would begin in spring 2022.
