SAVAGE A COMMUNITY WITH ROOTS PHOTOS BY CHRISTINE SCHUSTER
Savage Police Chief Rodney Seurer, left, meets a Savage resident at a Night to Unite party at Hamilton Hills Park on Aug. 7. Also pictured: Members of the Savage Fire Department and Savage Mayor Janet Williams.
S
avage is one of the fastest growing cities in the metro, but the community’s rich history remains at the forefront of local life. In 1902, Marion Willis Savage, a successful Minneapolis businessman and entrepreneur, purchased a pacer named Dan Patch. He built elaborate stables for the racehorse, which become one of the greatest racehorses of all time, along the banks of the Minnesota River in a railroad town called Hamilton. The rest is history. One hundred years ago, city officials adopted the town’s new name in Savage’s honor. Each summer, thousands of residents join together to celebrate Savage’s history during the Dan Patch Days. The festival includes a parade downtown and live music in Savage Community Park.
A RICH HISTORY AND FUTURE This year, ChamberofCommerce.org ranked Savage the seventh best city to live in Minnesota. The city was also named

Families gathered on Jersey Avenue South in Savage for the city’s largest Night to Unite neighborhood party on Aug. 7. among the best places to live in America by Money Magazine in 2013 and 2011 and among the best affordable suburbs in the nation by BusinessWeek in 2010. A community of roughly 30,000, Savage is situated between two major transportation routes: Highway 169 and Interstate 35W. In 2018, a study by the The National Citizen Survey found nine out of 10 respondents felt safe and said Savage is a good
or excellent place to live, raise a family and live in a neighborhood. Housing contributed to the positive ratings; the report showed that the availability of housing and variety of housing options rated higher than other U.S. communities. Each year, community members help others at Service Day Saturday. The event, founded by a student at a local elementary school, draws hundreds of
residents to clean up parks, donate blood and do other service projects around City Hall and elsewhere. Savage knows how to have fun, too. Residents can participate in festivities like Movies in the Outfield at the Savage Sports Center, Night to Unite in August and the Halloween Bash in October. There are many reasons why Savage is considered a naturally resourceful community. Its environmental assets include the Minnesota River, which forms the city’s northern border; the 500-acre Savage Fen wetland complex; Eagle Creek, one of the last brown trout streams in the metro area; and Boiling Springs, a natural landmark with a deep history. Some of nation’s largest agricultural companies, such as Cargill and CHS, run shipping operations in Savage along the banks of Minnesota. Summer months bring bustling barge traffic to and from the ports, from which grain and other crops float down to Louisiana for export.

ach ye a r br i n g s new bu si ne s s e s, new developments a nd hu nd reds of new residents to the city of Savage. New families created a need for more classroom space, and construction began on a new elementary school on June 2019. Hamilton Ridge Elementary will welcome students in the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools district in fall 2020.
HOUSING VARIETY CONTINUES TO WIDEN Louisiana Lofts, a 54-apartment public-supported workforce housing complex, opened its doors in March. The three-story building sits just north of Prior Lake High School and offers views of Credit River. The Scott County Community Development Agency in 2016 projected the county would need
10
more than 600 new units like those at Louisiana Lofts by 2025 to keep pace with demand for affordable housing. Since then almost 300 have been added. A growing demand for senior housing is also being met by new developments in Savage. Construction is underway on the Rivers of Life Senior Memory Care facility on the northwest corner of County Road 42 and Loftus Lane. The development will provide housing for seniors with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injuries and other conditions impacting memory. On Hanrehan Lake, an upscale senior housing community will bring luxury living to residents 55 and older. The Savage City Council in May approved plans for the development, Linden Cove. The plans call for nine twounit stacked buildings and two individual town home units.

A PIONEER IN MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES The city of Savage is often commended for its commitment to provide mental health
treatment services and other resources to residents. After years of advocating a nd pla n ni ng for a n adu lt residential treatment facility, the Savage City Council approved final plans in April for the new Mental Health Crisis Stabilization and Intensive Residential Treatment
Services Center. T he 16 , 0 0 0 - s qu a r e - fo ot , two-story treatment center will be built on the northwest corner of Ottawa Avenue at 124th Street. Clients will be able to acc e s s i nt en sive r e sident i a l treatment services for up to 90 days and crisis stabilization services for up to 10 days. The facility may house up to 16 clients at a time. The facility will be operated by Guild Incorporated, a nonprofit that provides an array of mental health services a nd residentia l prog ra ms. The project is funded by the state Legislature, Scott and Dakota counties, the city of Savage and A l lina Health. The facility will be the first of its kind in Minnesota speci a l ly bu i lt to of fer t he s e services rather than providing residential treatment in retrofitted homes. State and local officials have said they hope the model will encourage other communities to pursue similar new construction.

avage is a manufacturing and shipping hub with world-wide reach, a place where start-up businesses set down roots and thrive. In April 2019, Hydra-Flex Inc. opened its new 80,000-squarefoot headquarters in the Eagle Creek Business Park. Hydra-Flex is a chemical dispensing and nozzle company that specializes in car wash products. It moved from Eagan to the space with the help of a $300,000 loan through the Minnesota Investment Fund. Hydra-Flex President Jaime Harris, who co-founded the company in 2002, said it did $21 million in sales last year and is projected to hit $100 million by 2027. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development said Hydra-Flex would create 70 jobs in four years with an average hourly wage of $26.35. RPM Drymate is celebrating 20 years of operation in Savage and
15 years selling products to Walmart this year. The company manufactures custom waterproof mats, including mats for under the kitchen sink and under pet food bowls, and automotive mats and liners under the Armor All brand. The company also makes and donates hundreds of waterproof blankets to people experiencing homelessness through a partnership with Minneapolisbased Loaves and Fishes. The company’s commitment to giving back landed them a standalone Walmart commercial in 2019 that aired on national networks such as NBC and FOX. They currently sell eight different product types to Walmart, and a new product will hit the shelves in fall 2019. In 2018, the company sold around 500,000 mats to the retailer. Savage is also home to Fabcon. The manufacturing company creates precast concrete panels that are widely used on the exterior of big-box retail stores such as Walmart and Hy-Vee.

HISTORY
T
he h i st or y of Savage begins with t he i mp ortance of the Minnesota River during the mid-nineteenth century. In 1852, a trading post at the junction of the Credit River and the Minnesota attracted settlers to establish a village named Hamilton Landing. The settlers were mostly Scottish and Irish. Before they arrived, the land was inhabited by Dakota, and the Black Dog Indian Village was located just outside of what’s now Savage. Hamilton Landing continued to grow, and in 1865 the first railroad
tracks were laid. Shortly afterward, the first post office in the village opened. In 1902, a prominent Minneapolis businessman named M.W. Savage purchased a horse by the name of Dan Patch for $60,000. Dan Patch was housed on his owner’s farm in the town, then still known as Hamilton. Savage trained Dan Patch on the 1-mile and covered half-mile tracks at the farm. In 1904, Hamilton was renamed for him. Two years later, Dan Patch broke the world record by running a mile in one minute and 55 seconds at a race at the Minnesota State Fair. Dan Patch was a celebrity and traveled in a 65foot railroad car built for him. Americans came from across the country to catch a glimpse of the horse and purchased expensive tickets for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Dan Patch died in 1916, and Savage died less t h a n t wo

HISTORY days later. Many believe he died of a broken heart. Today, the Dan Patch Historical Society continues to share and honor the legacy of Dan Patch and Savage. In June 2018, a bronze statue depicting Savage and his horse was installed outside the Savage Library. The sculpture was made by renowned equine artist Alex King. Charles Lindbergh is another famous figure with ties to Savage. In 1923, engine failure forced Lindbergh to land in a swampy area in Savage. Word spread that a plane had crashed, and people gathered to pull the aircraft to solid ground. For three days, Lindbergh stayed in the Savage Depot while he waited for repairs to be made. Four years later, Lindbergh toured the country after completing the first nonstop transatlantic flight. Before leaving
his stop in the Twin Cities, Lindbergh passed over Savage and circled the town at a low altitude to say thanks. During World War II, Savage was home to the Military Intelligence Service Language School where Japanese-American soldiers were trained in military intelligence and sharpened their language skills. Savage also played an important role in naval shipbuilding efforts, and Cargill Inc. built 22 ships for the U.S. military during the war. Today, the site is still active in shipping grain. The Savage Depot historical marker downtown stands as tribute to the town’s rich history. Explore more about Savage’s past at the Savage Library’s Heritage Room. There you’ll find a variety of artifacts including Dan Patch memorabilia, news clippings and photo collections.

E
ach year brings changes to the city of Savage, and local officials are busy making decisions in development, transportation and public safety that affect everyday life. Finances and transportation are main topics as city and school leaders plan for the future.
SCHOOL REFERENDUM This November, Burnsville-EaganSavage District officials will ask voters to approve a new operating property levy that would generate an estimated $1.7 million for general expenses. The ballot question will ask voters to
28
www.savagepacer.com | 2019 - 2020
revoke the two currently existing voterapproved operating levies and replace them with a single levy that would provide the district the state maximum of per-student money, around $1,900, for the next 10 years. A property owner of a $250,000 property would see an estimated $ 6 monthly tax increase, according to Ehlers, a district financial consultant. With millions of dollars in spending cuts and more expected in the future, district officials say the referendum is a part of their overall effort to address the issue.
DAN PATCH LINE One day, passengers may be able to board Minneapolis-bound commuter trains in
Savage on the existing Dan Patch rail line. Savage officials continue to push for a repeal on a controversial 2002 state bill, which banned the Minnesota Department of Transportation and any other state agency from considering the idea. New technology, increasing road congestion and changing transportation habits pushed newcomer legislators from Savage and Bloomington to speak out in favor of repealing the ban in 2019 and once again study the possibility of passenger trains connecting the north and south side of the Minnesota River. The Dan Patch Line connects Northfield to Minneapolis, crossing the Minnesota River in Savage and passing through

Bloomington, Edina, St. Louis Park and other suburbs on its way to Minneapolis. The line was built over a century ago by M.W. Savage and once carried passengers to the stables of Savage’s record-breaking horse, Dan Patch. Today it’s used to carry freight between Savage and Minneapolis.
GOVERNMENT BASICS The five-member City Council, which includes the mayor, meets twice monthly at City Hall, 6000 McColl Drive. The Savage Library, a fire station and a post office all stand nearby. City households split between Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools and BurnsvilleEagan-Savage.
The two have their own school boards and own issues in recent years; while Burnsville-Eagan-Savage has cut millions of dollars in spending and seen enrollment fall, Prior Lake-Savage is building a new elementary school to help with what officials say are overcrowded facilities. The mayor and two city council positions will be up for election in 2020, as will several seats on the two dist ricts’ boards.
