Progress in savage - what we've been working on
Planning for the Future of Our Parks
Savage completed a Parks Master Plan that gives us a clear vision for our parks, trails, recreation opportunities, and open spaces. The next step is prioritizing projects and funding them responsibly so that vision becomes reality.
Strengthening Public Safety
Public safety is one of the most important responsibilities of local government. Savage’s fire department has been transitioning toward more full-time staffing to meet the changing needs of our community, and I am proud to have been part of those important conversations and decisions.
A Vision for Downtown Savage
Savage completed a downtown visioning process that identified opportunities for the future of our downtown. Now the work is implementation - setting priorities, identifying funding, and making practical decisions that move us from vision to action.
Continuing to Move Highway 13 Forward
Highway 13 is one of the most important transportation corridors in Savage and for the entire region. Improvements have continued to progress, and our city staff, Mayor and Council have been working with Scott County, MnDOT and regional partners to keep pushing for the remaining improvements to finally finish that project.
Thoughtful Growth in a Nearly Built-Out Community
Savage has limited land left for future development, which means every decision matters. We need to be thoughtful about what we build, where we build it, and how new development fits into the community while still supporting responsible businesses that want to invest here.
