The park board is preparing to conduct a long range planning effort with help of a professional consultant over the next six months. Grand Marais Park Manager Dave Tersteeg says he’s looking forward to the upcoming public process.

“We got a grant through the Minnesota Costal Program to hire a planner. We’ve gone through the public process to select the planner and we’ve chosen Carduus Consulting out of Duluth. The principal down there is Bob Bruce and he is an excellent professional planner,” said Tersteeg.

An initial meeting is planed for Oct. 22 to define the scope of the visioning process. Tersteeg comments, “We hope to focus on the Rec Park, and we are really hoping to engage the public—the citizens of Grand Marais and the visitors—you know, everyone should get involved that cares about the park.”
