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.
