The summer months are upon us already and Town Staff are working diligently to keep the Town parks beauƟful for your enjoyment. You will noƟce several flats of colorful flowers were lovingly planted in the parks just in Ɵme for Carson Valley Days and the final touches are going in on the current phase of sidewalk improvements on County Road. If you haven’t walked the community in a while, I invite you to take a stroll down the meandering path between 2nd and 8th street on County. For those who parƟcipated, thank you again for providing feedback to the Town via the Town of Minden Resident Survey. The survey re- sponses have been compiled and are available for your review on the Town of Minden Website. If you are interested in being noƟfied when new informaƟon has been posted on the Town’s website, please consider friending the Town on Facebook. As always, we appreciate your comments and are grateful for the opportunity to serve you. This quarter’s quesƟon is: What’s the holdup with the improvements in the NDOT right-of-way at the Gateway Center? Answer: NDOT indicated previously a desire to partner with the Town on the project; however, NDOT is now dealing with budget cuts to the State capital projects and grant award funds. The Minden Board re- mains commiƩed and built the total cost of the project into next fiscal year’s budget (beginning July 1, 2013). The Town will conƟnue to pur- sue funding from the State and will not let these recent developments delay the project further. The next step in the process is to compile a landscape plan for the site. The Minden Board wants your input on the proposed design before making a final selecƟon. The proposed designs are currently in the AdministraƟon Office for you to review, or if you prefer, we can certainly e-mail them. The renderings are intended to generate discussion. If there is something missing from the designs you think should be included, let us know. — Jenifer Davidson
