Next Steps
The City is pursuing a local option sales tax as a way to fund the Braemar Park Master Plan, upgrade Braemar Arena, fund the Fred Richards Park Master Plan, create Weber Woods Park and help pay for street reconstruction.
The tax, proposed at 50 cents per $100 taxable purchase in Edina, would raise an estimated $4 million a year for 20 years. It must be approved by the State Legislature, the Governor and then by Edina voters before being enacted.
The tax, if approved, is expected to raise $20.9 million for Braemar Park and Braemar Arena upgrades.
