elcome to the 2011-2012 Chaska Resident’s Guide. This year marks the 20th anniversary of publishing these guides for the communities served by Southwest Newspapers. This Chaska Herald publication is a comprehensive directory of information and resources used by Chaska businesses and residents, especially those who are new to this area.

The Resident’s Guide is a compilation of valuable information — one source for local services, names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Keep it handy; use it often.

Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that occur after publication. The challenge in publishing this Resident’s Guide is not only collecting accurate and important information, but keeping that information current in one of the Twin Cities’ fastest-growing areas.

If you are interested in obtaining additional copies of this publication, call our Circulation Department at 952-345-6682. The Resident’s Guide is also available at www.chaskaherald.com. For additional information or to submit corrections, call 952-445-3333 or send an e-mail to agentile@swpub.com.

CHASKA The ‘Best Small Town in Minnesota’ A

n historic city on the Minnesota River, Chaska is one of the fastest-growing communities of the southwest suburban area. Just 20 years ago, it was a quiet little town of less than 5,000 people. Fast-forward to 2011 where, today, its population is more than four times that number — yet Chaska remains a quality small town.

Praising Chaska for its quality jobs, education system, diverse population and strong sense of community, Money Magazine named Chaska as the 8th best small town in the United States in its August 2007 issue and the 20th best in 2009.

This Money Magazine recognition reinforces Chaska mission of being “The Best Small Town in Minnesota.”

Chaska is not a bedroom communit y. It maintains a strong, diversified light-industry base, with more than 12,000 jobs available within the city. Attracting and preserving high quality jobs is a priority of the city and is consistent with its long-term vision of being a place for residents to both live and work.

Chaska Resident’s Guide — September 2011

Despite its recent growth, Chaska retains its small town image. The image of a caring and active community, where people meet and greet each other on the street, continues to be fostered even as the population grows.

Established in 1851, Chaska has a core historic downtown which serves as a focal point for both commercial development and social activities.

Those who live in Chaska continue to enjoy ice cream socials and band concerts in City Square Park. These and other activities are designed to strengthen the community and support shared community values.

In addition, Chaska has an award-winning community center. It serves as a gathering place for people of all ages and with all interests. The center — which included The Lodge for Active Older Adults in 2007— also houses a gallery and theater, a swimming pool, fitness center, and several amenities including an on-site café.

Outdoor recreation enthusiasts enjoy the community’s miles of trails, acres of parks, two swimming beaches, and a new disc golf course.

Chaska also has an extensive year-round recreation program for children and adults, including seniors.

For those who are seeking a “wired” community, the City of Chaska was the fi rst city in the country to roll out a city-wide high-speed WiFi service when it created chaska.net. The high-speed, lowcost service helps Chaska meet one of its core strategies — to be a connected community.

F ina l ly, Chask a is home to Ha z elt ine National Golf Club, site of several major golfing tournaments for men, women and seniors, including the 1991 U.S. Men’s Open, the 2002 PGA Championship and the 2009 PGA Championship. Chaska Town Course, a cityowned public golf course designed by nationally prominent Arthur Hills Jr., opened in 1997. It has routinely received high ratings in both state and national publications. The Town Course co-hosted — with Hazeltine National — the 2006 U.S. Amateur Championship, bringing hundreds of golfers and visitors to the community.

The Ryder Cup is scheduled to be in Chaska in 2016.

Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Information Carver County Environmental Center ........................................952-361-1835 MN Pollution Control Agency ....................................................651-296-6300 Household hazardous waste must be disposed of properly to avoid endangering health and contaminating ground water.

These wastes include: solvents, household cleaners, pesticides, paint, wood preservatives, aerosols, batteries, automotive oil and antifreeze. The best way to handle the waste–except those that are banned–is to use it or give it to someone who will. If these options are not available to you, please contact the county for collection information.

Sellers of automotive products may take used automotive waste, perhaps for a fee. Check before bringing the waste in.
