RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution of Support for FY 2024 Community Project Funding – TH13 Trail Segment 1

BACKGROUND:
The city received information from the Office of Congresswoman Angie Craig on March 3, 2023,
for the FY 2024 Community Project Funding (CPF) solicitation. The federal CPF program allows
Members of Congress to directly request federal funding for projects within the districts in which
they serve, with project applications due Friday, March 17, 2023. The city previously received
funding through this program for the planned construction of the trail along TH 13 between
Pleasant Avenue and Anna Trail.
Consistent with the city’s 2040 Park and Trail plan that identifies the construction of a continuous
trail along TH 13 from CSAH 42 to CSAH 21 at downtown Prior Lake, the attached resolution of
support identifies a request of up to $1,000,000 in federal funding for the construction of TH 13
Trail Segment 1 (CSAH 42 to Rustic Road).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
An award of federal funding for this project will require a minimum local funding match equal to
20% of construction costs plus indirect costs.
