LMRWD is making available cost-sharing awards — to institutions and individuals — "to provide educational, technical and financial assistance to landowners (residential, commercial, industrial...etc); to implement projects that have water quality, water quantity, channel maintenance, trout stream, fen or wetland restoration, or aquatic habitat benefit within the District" (water management plan).

On Feb. 21, the District made a PowerPoint presentation to the Shakopee City Council.

The District has commissioned the Burns McDonnell engineering firm to report on possible future costs of operating and maintaining its Savage dredge placement site.

Once again this year the District will be making awards in its cost-sharing program for water projects, both individual and institutional. Awards continue to be available as of June 2017 — and until award monies are exhausted.
