22 Acres of new Park Land

We added 22 acres of beautiful wooded land, through negotiation with landowner at zero cost, that Isanti Brook flows through and abuts the Rum River. We will develop a walking trail and small walking bridge over the Brook. This is a beautiful section of the City and will be kept in its natural state for generations to come...

what did the city give up to get the 22 acres ? someone can't be that crazy to give the city of isanti that much for nothing, i mean thats got to be close to 40-60 lots,
maybe $ 400,000? mister iverson finally paying the city back!!!!!

Actually this was part of cleaning up a bad development agreement the City had with Iverson... after Iverson's development went into foreclosure and the bank took over we have been working to fix a number of issues...

I want to focus on the bright future of this project....

George why cant we sell this land when prices go back up?We have enough parks in this area.If this is nice land we would be way better off getting taxes off it.

The land is along some sensitive areas and needs to be protected.... and if the land is accepted as park land that is how it needs to stat classified....
