U.S. Rep. Angie Craig Secures Over $600,000 to Make Downtown Prior Lake More Accessible
Funding will help finish construction of a multi-use trail connecting Downtown Prior Lake to neighboring communities
PRIOR LAKE, MN – Today U.S. Rep. Angie Craig announced the City of Prior Lake will receive $632,150 in federal funding to complete the construction of a trail connecting Downtown Prior Lake to its neighboring communities.
Rep. Craig launched her push to secure this funding last year.
Closing the trail gap between Anna Trail Southeast and Pleasant St. Southeast, west of State Highway 13, will allow families with strollers and bikes to safely access Downtown Prior Lake and support local businesses.
“Making it easier for people to get to Downtown Prior Lake is a positive step for Prior Lake families and businesses, and I’ll keep working to deliver resources like these to help local economies across the Second District,” said Rep. Craig.
“Downtown Prior Lake serves as an exciting and vibrant gathering space for Minnesota families. Closing this trail gap and connecting Prior Lake to its neighboring communities will ensure that all members of our community are able to enjoy this beautiful area. I’m grateful for all of Rep. Craig’s hard work to secure this funding for the Prior Lake community,” said Prior Lake Mayor Kirt Briggs.
