Future Phases
Phase I is the only funded phase of the Fred Richards Master Plan.
The City is pursuing a local option sales tax as a way to fund other phases of the Fred Richards Park Master Plan. The tax also would be used to fund the Braemar Park Master Plan, upgrade Braemar Arena, 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 $17.7 million for Fred Richards Park improvements.
