EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The City of Hewitt applied for and received a grant from the Central Minnesota Initiative Foundation to develop park planning concepts for the property owned by Bert Favre from Hewitt, Minnesota. The City of Hewitt contracted with the Region Five Development Commission to perform planning and facilitation for this project. The Region Five Development Commission partnered with Landscape Architects, Erica L. Frizzell and John Winter from Frizzell Winter Associates to assist in the project. Throughout the planning phase the steering committee and consultants developed the following: park planning, trail layouts and connection with the City of Hewitt. In addition, the City of Hewitt has worked with many partners, including the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), to look at potential driving access from Highway 71 and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for possible funding resources and guidance. The following document provides park illustrations that show park concepts, in addition to a phased financial breakdown for the park concept. Finally, the document provides potential funding resources for the implementation of the park.
