Welcome to the 2015-2016 Prior Lake Lifestyle Guide.What makes Prior Lake such a welcoming community?

For this year’s guide we asked for your advice and called upon a random sampling of Prior Lake residents to tell us what they love about living here. Throughout our 2015-16 Prior Lake Lifestyle Guide, you’ll see what they enjoy about the city, the community, the businesses and all the other amenities that make Prior Lake not just where they live but what makes it their home.

Originally a resort community, the city has evolved from a 1-square-mile rural town of 400 people to a more than an 18-square-mile community of about 23,000 people. Prior Lake continues to manage growth and maintain its small town roots.

Downtown Prior Lake continues to transform and is a des-tination where people can shop, recreate, dine and socialize.

Downtown features a variety of eating establishments. Summer events downtown include the Farmer’s Market, the Lakefront Days celebration, Prior Lake Rotary Lakefront Music Fest, concerts in the park and Ladies Night Out.

Prior Lake also continues to move forward as an attractive community in which to open or expand a business.

This publication offers a directory of information and resources used by Prior Lake area businesses and residents, especially those who are new to this area.

The Lifestyle Guide is a compilation of important information — a single source for lists of services, names, telephone numbers and email addresses. Keep it handy; use it often.

Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that occur after publication. Please notify us of information that needs to be updated so it can be kept current throughout the year.

If you would like additional copies of this publication, call our Circulation Department at 952-345-6682. Send information for the Lifestyle Guide to Amanda McKnight at [email protected].

“Our city is defi nitely based on recreation. That’s how we started back in the day.”

-Angie Barstad, Prior Lake Parks and RecreationPrior Lake may have the feel of a small town, but that doesn’t extend

to any small town sleepiness.“Our city is definitely based on recreation,” Angie Barstad of

Prior Lake Parks and Recreation said. “That’s how we started back in the day.”

From the big celebrations to the neighborhood parties and every-thing in between, Barstad said, Prior Lake is dedicated to bringing people outdoors and bringing them together. It’s a mission they’ve had ever since their beginning as a resort town.

Mystic Lake Casino Hotel and Little Six Casino, operated by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, continue to draw excited crowds, and the community is just a short stint away from thrill rides at ValleyFair amusement park and heart-pounding races at Canterbury Park.

More fun can be found right in Prior Lake’s 55 parks and two public beaches. The “crown jewel” of that trove, Barstad said, is Lakefront Park, located just off the downtown area, which hosts both the Lakefront Days festivities in the summer and the cheery Holidazzle celebration in the winter.

It also holds the annual Lakefront Music Fest, a two-day smash of live rock and country performances put on by the Prior Lake Rotary Club. The festival makes Prior Lake a destination for people all over the region, with past appearances from Daughtry, Trace Adkins, Smash Mouth and more.

The park, meanwhile, stays beautiful all year long.

“Now, we hardly ever go out to eat outside Prior Lake anymore.”

-Joe Dols, 30-year resident and member of the Prior Lake Rotary Club and Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce

Prior Lake’s restaurant scene shares the feel of the town overall: small, proud and local.

What started as a very limited selection has blossomed into a growing cluster of small businesses that have become local legends.

Very few chains can be found among its dining options, but Prior Lake is close enough to other commercial centers to afford full access to whatever you might be craving. However, residents like Joe Dols of the Prior Lake Rotary fi nd more than enough variety and quality in town to keep them satisfi ed.

“Now, we hardly ever go out to eat outside Prior Lake anymore,” he said.

There’s a closeness and a sense of quality associated with Prior Lake’s intimate restaurant options. Local institutions like The Pointe, Sur Lago and The Cove are locally owned and operated.

“When you go to these places, you can meet the owner,” Angie Barstad of Prior Lake Parks and Recreation said.

On top of that, Prior Lake becomes a food destination on summer weekends thanks to its downtown farmer’s market. Not only does it offer fresh produce and hand-crafted products like homemade teri-yaki sauce and kettle corn popped onsite, it also has plenty of dining options, from coffee to baked goods to southwest cuisine.

Shoppers can enjoy a hot, savory meal on sunny weekend morn-ings at the market while sitting at tables and listening to live musical performances — and maybe grab a jar of hot peppers to take home.

City of Prior Lake 25

CAP Agency 27

Prior Lake has maintained a running dialogue between its local government and residents when it comes to shaping the city’s growth and managing tax dollars.

Prior Lake prides itself on its “small town feel,” and part of that is thanks to its small town government.

Prior Lake is governed by a mayor and four City Council members, each of them elected to serve four-year terms. They meet on the second and fourth Mondays of every month at Prior Lake City Hall, located at 4646 Dakota St.

The staff in City Hall is small, according to Angie Barstad in the Parks and Recreation Department, but they are effi cient, passionate and live in the town they serve.

“They’re very familiar with the community,” Barstad said.And the community is familiar with them. Prior Lake has main-

tained a running dialogue between its local government and residents when it comes to shaping the city’s growth and managing tax dollars. Credit River and Spring Lake Townships have their own town boards.

The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) also has its own sovereign government, which provides civic services to its mem-bers and has intergovernmental agreements with the civic bodies of the surrounding cities and Scott County. All enrolled members ages 18 and older are part of the General Council, which is represented by the three elected members of the Business Council.

Prior Lake is represented on the state level by representatives for Minnesota House District 55B and Senate District 55, and on the na-tional level by Minnesota’s Second Congressional District, but much of Prior Lake’s governmental approach has a very close-to-home, self-contained attitude.

PUBLIC UTILITIES

City of Prior Lake Utility Billing4646 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake952-447-9843If your home or business is experi-encing brown water – the water is safe – however, the city suggests that you try to minimize usage, run the cold spigot at the utility tub to clear water and call the city at 952-447-9800. For stained dishes, clothing, tubs, fixtures or other items caused by brown water, you can request a stain-removing product from the city. This product is available through the Prior Lake Public Works Department by call-ing 952-447- 9800.

When you have it, it is magical. I’m talking

about a wonderful quality of life. Prior Lake has it.

Prior Lake’s quality of life takes many forms: its attractive downtown, its exciting recreational opportunities, its bountiful natural resources, its strong sense of community and civic pride, and its economic vitality.

But Prior Lake’s great quality of life did not appear like a rabbit from a hat. Over a long period we have protected and invested in our many resources, increased the use of our recreational amenities, strengthened our neighborhoods and community bonds, nurtured our cooperative efforts and earned our reputation as a wonderful place to live, work and play.

Prior Lake also maintains a high-quality park and trail system that connects neighborhoods and provides

a sense of place. We are graced with one the fi nest recreational lakes in the metro area. Prior Lake works hard to preserve water quality and recreation opportunities, expand parks and wetland areas and provide residents with many family-oriented and water-related activities and experiences throughout the year.

Prior Lake’s active, involved and engaged residents are to be thanked. More than 50 volunteers serve on city advisory committees and commissions. Civic service groups also make a positive impact, including the Optimists, Rotary, Lions, VFW, Chamber of Commerce and more. Youth athletics groups – PLAY, PLBA, the Hockey Association, Soccer Association, Swim Club, and more every year – run with the active support of hundreds of parent

volunteers. And various groups look after our lakes, including the Lake Associations, the Yacht Club and others.

If you don’t believe in Prior Lake’s magic, take a look at a resident survey from earlier this year. It shows emphatically that most people love the quality of life here, and the numbers get higher every year of the survey. In 2014, 95 percent of residents rated the quality of life as positive – either excellent or good. Our excellent rating for quality of life jumped from 30 to 40 percent since 2011.

Today, we do all we can to sustain the magic. More hard work and collaboration among our residents and partners is ahead, but with continued cooperation and responsible use of our natural resources, we will enjoy our wonderful quality of life for generations to come.

As Scott County continues to lead the state in popula-

tion growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott Coun-ty has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the ac-quisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly suc-cessful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to in-stalling a high-tech fi ber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.”

Residents are encouraged to

keep current on County news through viewing Board meetings (available online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other pro-gramming, following the county on Facebook and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with vari-ous community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

DOWNTOWN IS FILLED WITH BUSTLING TRAFFIC OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS SHOPPING, DINING AND USING AVAILABLE SERVICES.

BY ED SPEIKER AND SANDI FLECK

It is diffi cult to forecast the future, but most indications are for con-

tinued growth in the local, state and national economy. Sharply lower oil prices and a stronger dollar are re-shaping the Minnesota economic outlooks. Cheaper oil reduces capital expenditures in oil-related industries and allows consumers to divert spending toward non-gasoline pur-chases. The strong dollar makes im-ported goods more affordable. Both factors place temporary downward pressure on infl ation in the near-term.

The overall outlook for economic growth continues to improve accord-ing to the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget. The Department of Management and Budget expects the real GDP growth for 2016 increasing to 2.7 percent and 2.8 percent in 2017. The Depart-ment of Management and Budget forecasts signifi cant income growth for individuals in 2016 and 2017. But, what is happening closer to home?

The private sector usually follows strong governmental spending. Prior Lake has several capital projects that will commence in 2016. Major construction at 150th Street and Highway 13 is just the beginning. In 2016 changes at the stoplight at Du-luth Avenue and Highway 13 will help local businesses and the consumers getting through those lights smoothly and safely. Also signalizing Arcadia Avenue and County Road 21 inter-section will probably begin in 2016.

Prior Lake, the second largest city in Scott County, is a fl ourishing community that has grown from a population of 15,917 in 2000 to 24,408 in 2014 and is expected to reach nearly 40,000 by 2040. Today, private and public investments in downtown now support 80 distinct businesses employing over 40 0

people. Downtown is fi lled with bus-tling traffi c of residents and visitors shopping, dining and using available services. According to the U.S. Cen-sus Bureau, the labor force in Prior Lake is extremely well educated with more than 40 percent of its residents earning a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Newsweek announced its 2015 High School Rankings this month, which includes “America’s Top High Schools,” a list of 500 high schools nationwide that excel at preparing students for college. Prior Lake High School made the list at 463. More than 16,000 schools across the nation were considered for the rankings. This placed Prior Lake High School in the top 2.9 percent in the nation, according to Newsweek. The News-week rankings assess schools based on a broad range of data to determine which institutions do the best job of preparing students for college.

The Prior Lake City Council and Economic Development Author-ity participates in and have access to many programs that provide economic assistance to businesses and industry locating or expanding in the city.

Prior Lake is home to hundreds of thriving and successful businesses. The Prior Lake Area Chamber of Commerce consists of over 400

unique businesses. These local and area businesses represent thousands of member employees. Many of these businesses are located in downtown Prior Lake. The chamber sponsors and participates in over 50 events an-nually. These events bring the public into these businesses and helps grow those businesses. The chamber is especially strong in networking busi-ness to business along with its slogan “Shop Local, Shop Often.” Coming up in November the Chamber will be promoting Small Business Saturday.

To quote Prior Lake’s Mayor, Ken Hedberg, “The residents of Prior Lake reinforce a warm, small�town feel by welcoming visitors with courtesy and hospitality. Prior Lake’s downtown serves as the hub of the city, offer-ing a walkable destination, specialty shopping, dining, entertainment and services that meet the needs of resi-dents and visitors alike.”

Prior Lake continues to offer a busi-ness-friendly Economic Developemnt Authority (EDA), Economic Develop-ment Advisory Committee (EDAC) and the Prior Lake Area Chamber of Com-merce to promote and grow business.

Ed Speiker is the board chairman and Sandi Fleck is the president of the Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce.

“Prior Lake, to me, is a healthy community.”

-Joe Dols, 30-year resident and member of the Prior Lake Rotary Club and Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce

Prior Lake’s location allows for good access to the best hospitals in the state — it’s only 10 miles from St. Francis Regional Medical

Center in Shakopee — and with several medical, dental and eye clinics of its own, quality care is never too far away. Allina, Fairview and Park Nicollet all serve the area, and there are local options for behavioral health and family psychology services as well.

Prior Lake is also a great place for staying well by living an active lifestyle. Its 55 parks feature interconnecting trails that make for endless options for outdoor walking, running, riding, even snowmo-biling and snowshoeing. The lake itself is great for swimming and water sports.

Utilizing the lakesides and green spaces for activities has been a tradition in Prior Lake for years. Community runs, walks and sports are commonplace.

“Prior Lake, to me, is a healthy community,” longtime local Joe Dols said. Staying active is a positive side effect of living in a community that was born out of recreation and revolves around the lake.

There’s also a lot of access to organic, local food close at hand. The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community’s Wozupi Tribal Gar-dens grows and sells fresh, all-natural produce, which is available at farmer’s markets and at Mazopiya, Prior Lake’s natural foods market. Wozupi also puts on regular classes on healthy and sustainable cook-ing, gardening and even wild food foraging. Prior Lake residents can also grown their own healthy produce in the Kop Family Community Garden, located squarely in front of Lakefront Park.

Classes at Wozupi, the Prior Lake Library and local parks can teach you how to make your own maple candies, knit a shawl or even pilot a stand-up paddle board.

Whatever you like to do to unwind, odds are there is a place in Prior Lake where you can do just that. The city’s parks make it

a perfect place for games, hikes or even a good sunbathe.Those more into the sporting scene won’t be disappointed, either.

The town has several lush golf courses, including The Wilds Golf Club, Legends Golf Club and the Meadows at Mystic Lake.

“I’m a golfer,” 30-year resident Joe Dols said. “We have some of the best golf courses in the southwest metro.”

Another popular activity is trapshooting at the Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club in Rural Prior Lake. The lake itself is a great setting for fi shing, boating, paddle boarding, swimming and more.

One of the things locals like best about lakeside fun is that it isn’t seasonal. There are activities to enjoy all year round, including ice fi shing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. And whatever you’re inter-ested in, odds are a local park can rent out the necessary equipment.

“You can rent a pontoon and go out on the lake even if you don’t live on the lake,” Angie Barstad of Prior Lake Parks and Recreation said.

Prior Lake’s community resources also make it the perfect place to learn a new hobby or skill. Classes at Wozupi, the Prior Lake Library and local parks can teach you how to make your own maple candies, knit a shawl or even pilot a stand-up paddle board.

LIVIN

G”It’s still quaint. I hope it stays that way.”

- Bonnie Grapper, lifetime resident, member of the Prior Lake Lions Club

LIVE, DREAM, ACHIEVEPrior Lake’s tight-knit community network has plenty of resources

woven in to make daily life enjoyable, productive and rich for the people who call it home.

One of the area’s proudest achievements is the local school district. District 719, Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools, has been experiencing unprecedented growth, in part due to its academic excellence and a wide array of options for E-STEM (Environment, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) learning. The most recent additions to the district have been La ola del lago — a Span-ish immersion kindergarten — a nature-based preschool program at Edgewood School and a Fab Lab for manufacturing and design classes at Prior Lake High School.

“It’s a very small town feel, but with very big aspirations in our schools,” Bill Schult of the Prior Lake Rotary Club said.

The Prior Lake Library, located downtown, is another great center for learning — and not just because of its ready supply of books. Just ask Katy Relling, a local librarian.

“There’s an enormous amount of resources at the library,” she said.In the summer, the library offers a full roster of things to do for

kids, like activities, concerts and programs. During the school year, there’s homework help, and there’s storytime all year round. Club Prior, located in the Prior Lake Library, also has plenty of programs for older adults — everything from computer classes to social dances to yoga lessons.

In its day-to-day operations, Prior Lake takes its small town atti-tude just as seriously as its investment in education and quality of life.

“It’s still quaint,” Bonnie Grapper, a lifetime resident, said. “I hope it stays that way.”

“You used to have to drive 10 miles to get just about anything… Now, there’s a number of other good small businesses to take care of your needs.”

-Joe Dols, Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce

Years ago, Prior Lake’s shopping scene was a limited affair, but since then, commerce in the town has been growing and expanding.

“It’s really improved a lot,” Joe Dols of the Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce said. “You used to have to drive 10 miles to get just about anything… Now, there’s a number of other good small businesses to take care of your needs.”

Prior Lake’s marketplace features an active Chamber of Commerce and a newly revamped downtown, which has effectively combined its historic roots with a modern feel. Main Avenue features a strip of small, locally-owned boutiques, jewelers, hair salons, hardware out-lets and lumber shops. Down at the street corner, Edelweiss Bakery, located in the stylish Speiker Building, serves fresh croissants and cakes universally loved throughout the city.

There are several places available for the weekly grocery run, including fresh, seasonal produce from the Farmer’s Market and Mazopiya, and everyone’s favorite foodstuffs from Lunds & Byerlys.

As the marketplace has expanded, the one thing that hasn’t changed is the intimate, hometown atmosphere that permeates much of Prior Lake’s culture.

“The shops here, generally, are not franchised,” Angie Barstadt of Prior Lake Parks and Recreation said. “They’re locally-owned, ‘Ma and Pa’ shops.”

”As long as you leash them and pick up after them, you can pretty much take them anywhere.”

-Angie Barstad, Prior Lake Parks and Recreation

Life in Prior Lake has plenty of perks for animals and their humans, with a bevy of resources for four-legged family members.One of the biggest attractions Prior Lake has to offer its furrier

citizens is the abundance of space to exercise. The park and trail systems are well equipped with walking trails and fi eld space for dogs to enjoy, and an off-leash dog area was recently added in Spring Lake Regional Park

Many businesses downtown will also allow pets to come inside while their humans shop.

“I defi nitely think it’s pet friendly,” Angie Barstad, a local dog owner, said. “As long as you leash them and pick up after them, you can pretty much take them anywhere.”

And because Prior Lake is fi ve minutes from wide, rural spaces, that also means your pet will also be happy and well cared for if it happens to be a horse or an alpaca.

Prior Lake is also served by several different vet clinics, groomers and boarding kennels, and organizations like Protecting Paws Animal Rescue rehabilitate and provide shelter to abandoned pets. The city also has a contract with 4 Paws Animal Control, and its own Lost and Found Pets page under the “police” section of its website: www.cityofpriorlake.com.
