Included within the City's original proposed budget was an EDA tax levy of $283,000 which was the same as the 2008 levy. As a result, the total Proposed 2010 Operating & Capital Budget as shown in the link below has been reduced by $53,000 from $59,732,942 to $59,679,942.

Public Input on the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
|
|
Recently, the Minnesota State Arts Board and Minnesota's eleven regional arts councils completed a statewide series of public forums. The purpose was to collect input on how best to invest the new arts and cultural heritage funds that will become available this year. We are grateful to everyone who participated in these sessions; that input will be valuable to the board and councils as we move forward in our planning.
If you weren't able to participate in one of the forums, we want you to know that there is another way for you to provide input. Please take a few minutes to visit the Arts Board's Web site and share your thoughts by completing an online survey HERE.
The arts and cultural heritage fund is intended to support "arts, arts education and arts access and to preserve Minnesota's history and cultural heritage." The board and regional councils value public input and are eager to receive Minnesotans' suggestions on how best to invest these new funds.
Please forward this message to anyone you think might be interested.

Current Park Projects

Matson Field Fundraising/Renovation Effort
Constructed in 1958 with the current grandstand in the 70s, Matson Field has been the City's marquis facility for baseball tournament play and is the current host field for many Moorhead teams. The "Moorhead Field of Dreams" campaign, spearheaded by the user groups, is an effort to renovate Matson Field with private and public funds to position the facility as a first-rate site for regional and national tournaments. Renovation concepts proposed by the Field of Dreams group include:
- Dugout improvements, including drainage improvements and better ramp access
- Seating, press box, concession stand, and plaza area improvements
- The possibility of constructing a roof structure above fan seating
A large private fundraising effort, including a major gifts initiative, is scheduled to kick-off in the near future. More details regarding this project are available at http://www.moorheadfieldofdreams.com.

Southside Regional Park
Recently the Moorhead City Council and Park Advisory Board have adopted revisions to the original concept drawings for the 120 acre park. This is the concept that was presented to the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission in an attempt to qualify Moorhead as the Northwest Minnesota Regional Sports Complex. If funded, Moorhead would potentially receive up to 4 million dollars via the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission to develop the 120 acre regional Park as the Northwest Minnesota Regional Sports Complex. Should Moorhead receive the grant, the field size would be 16 instead of 11 full size fields, and a much more significant concession building than was originally planned, additional parking, maintenance facility, etc. The MN Amateur Sports Commission anticipates a request to the 2008 MN Legislature to fund such regional sports venues around the state.
Site Plan
Horizon Shores
The Horizon Shores Master Plan area when complete will encompass 860 acres of land and will consist of approximately 1,300 residential lots. This development is anchored by a 35-acre lake, 60-acres of parks and open space, the new Horizon Middle School and a future elementary school. In addition, there will be an estimated 450 multi-family dwelling units located adjacent to the 100 acres of commercial and business property which will be situated adjacent to I-94 and the new 34th Street Interchange.
Of this vast Master Plan area, Horizon Shores is only in the first phase where currently, there are 206 residential lots serviced. Park amenities that are in place include: 2 gazebos, tennis and basketball courts, lighted walking paths, 40 acres of water, water overlook (pier), paved parking lots and playground equipment.
