It doesn’t matter if you saved money in 15 minutes.

It doesn’t matter if your neighbor has the same insurance you do.

What matters right now is that you get to enjoy the little things in life - feeling completely at ease - because your independent insurance agent and the company that stands behind them have you and your entire family covered.

ABOUT PRIOR LAKE “Prior Lake”: Originally a resort community, the city has evolved from a 1-square-mile rural town of 400 people to a more than 18-square-mile community of about 23,000 people. Located in Scott County, Prior Lake continues to manage growth and maintain its small town roots. Ultimately, with the addition of a 3,000-acre annexation, the city population is likely to grow to in excess of 40,000.

It’s hard to build an 18 square-mile city with 22,000 residents, 100 miles of roads, 1,000 acres of parkland, 80 miles of sidewalks and trails and 54 parks. The 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan document attempts to plan for just that. It represents the areas of strategic importance identified by the 2011 Long-Range Planning Committee and the planning process. To start the process, communities must first imagine what they want the future to be. Second, they must decide how they are going to make this desired future a reality.

Strategic planning is a process that brings people together to think about the future, create a vision, and invent ways to make this future happen through determination, community teamwork and disciplined actions. It is getting people together to achieve common goals and aspirations, to transform visions into reality.

The 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan is a document of what residents, business people, volunteers, councilmembers, committee members, City staff and others think. It is a broad blueprint for positive change that defines our Vision and the key outcomes that must occur to make Prior Lake a wonderful place to live, work and play for a lifetime.

Other implementation efforts and plans include the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, financial plans, and development and redevelopment plans which are policy and decision-making tools that assist the community, council and administration in achieving the Vision. But only a plan like the 2030 Vision and Strategic Plan will challenge and stretch the community’s imagination in defining what is possible and test its will to commit to a great and exciting, rather than “good enough,” future.

A Great Place for Business!

Downtown Prior Lake continues to transform. Building on the momentum created by development of Lakefront Plaza, the Speiker Building (Edelweiss Bakery), and a major streetscape enhancement project, downtown is becoming more of a destination where people can shop, recreate, dine and socialize.

Downtown features various eating establishments including Fongs, Edelweiss Bakery, VFW, Memories on Main and Sul Lago. Summer events downtown include the Farmer’s Market, the Lakefront Days celebration, Prior Lake Rotary Lakefront Music Fest, concerts in the park and Ladies Night Out. Prior Lake also continues to move forward as an attractive community in which to open or expand a business, including in the Deerfield Business Park and in the growing downtown area. The city is served by an aggressive Economic Development Authority and Economic Development Advisory Committee.

SCOTT COUNTY As Scott County continues to lead the state in population growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott County has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the acquisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly successful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to installing a high-tech fiber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.”

Residents are encouraged to keep current on County news through viewing Board meetings (available online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other programming, following the county on Facebook and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with various community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Scott County Environmental Health Department ................ 952-496-8475 24-hour Information Line .......................................................... 952-496-8787 HHW Information ..................................................................... 952-496-8652 Web site ....................................................................www.co.scott.mn.us/hhw Almost every home contains some household hazardous waste (HHW), hazardous products or chemicals that can harm human health or the environment if handled improperly. These are products normally used in cleaning, home improvement projects, automobile maintenance, lawn and garden care, hobbies, and a variety of other tasks. They might include paint, varnish, pesticides, household cleaning chemicals, solvents, fuels, wood stain or preservatives, rechargeable batteries, aerosol cans, fluorescent lamps (including tubes and CFLs), mercury thermostats or thermometers, automotive chemicals or batteries, appliances, electronics, tires, as well as any other household products that are flammable, corrosive, reactive or poisonous. Each year, thousands of Americans are injured or poisoned through incidents involving hazardous household products. Minimizing the amount of hazardous chemicals stored in your home is always a good idea for the sake of your family’s safety.

The Scott County HHW Facility will accept a variety of hazardous materials from Scott County residents. Many of these items are accepted at no charge — visit www.co.scott.mn.us/HHW for details. Please bring a check or cash for those chargeable items, since credit cards are not currently accepted. The facility is located at 588 Country Trail East (Highway 282) in Spring Lake Township, one-half mile west of the intersection of Highways 13 and 282, and County Road 17. The HHW Facility is open at the following times: Wednesday: noon to 6 p.m.

Thursday: noon to 4 p.m.

Saturday: 8 a.m. to noon (Note: The RE-USE Room closes 15 minutes earlier) The HHW Facility will be CLOSED for major holiday weekends, including Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving, as well as the period between Christmas and New Year’s.

The RE-USE Room is filled with a variety of good usable products, including paint, stain, varnish, thinner, putty, adhesives, household chemicals, yard and garden chemicals, automotive chemicals, electronics, etc., and all of these items are available for FREE (to anyone over the age of 18)! A trip to the RE-USE Room as you plan your next home improvement or craft project could certainly save you some money!

Reduce the amount of HHW your family produces by practicing “Smart Shopping.” Measure carefully, buy only what you need, and then use what you buy. Store any leftovers carefully, and protect from freezing, so that they will remain usable.

Please note: The HHW Facility can not accept automotive chemicals in containers larger than 2½ gallons in size (fluids such as gas, oil, or antifreeze). Other unacceptable items include: household garbage, unknown materials, business waste (call for an appointment), radioactive items or sharps (needles). Regular alkaline batteries can be thrown in your household trash.
