NEW ULM The New Ulm Planning Commission will receive a report on the next neighborhood park project, Thursday.
The panel previously reviewed existing and proposed park areas and created ranking systems to identify the most appropriate location for the next park.
The Planning Commission has participated in the review process. Last month, the Planning Commission members each identified their top three choices for the next park. Upper Cottonwood, Lakeside Village and Maplewood were ranked the highest by the planning commissioners, but they deferred any further action until more information was available on the Parks Commission’s evaluation process. The parks commissioners have since held a work session to finalize selection criteria and a scoring system. It is anticipated the Parks Commission will vote on the final park ranking at their March 8 meeting.
