The Economic Development Administration awarded a $1.57 million project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307). The funding will support improvements to the parking lot and entrance at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, Minnesota to better accommodate visitors and events. The Arboretum is an important source of economic activity for Carver County through tourism and nearly 400 events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in over $300,000 in lost revenues. This exacerbated the region's long-term decline in new job creation. The parking lot expansion funded by this EDA grant aims to make the Arboretum a more attractive and convenient venue to host future events and attract tourists, helping the region recover from the pandemic's economic impacts and strengthening its resilience against future disruptions. The project is expected to increase employment opportunities, save jobs, spur private investment, and advance long-term economic resilience throughout the region upon completion in November 2024.
