Nisswa, Lake Shore need to pursue avenues for funding to fill a gap. Written By: Nancy Vogt | ×
The Nisswa City Council on Tuesday, Feb. 16, approved an agreement with Widseth engineering firm for the Gull Lake Trail project. The city is working with Lake Shore, which previously approved the agreement.
Both cities are working on the final phase of this trail with construction expected in 2022. The cities received a Legacy grant for $2.4 million toward the project.
Widseth’s cost estimates total $237,000 for the design phase and $269,000 for the construction phase. The council approved the agreement, minus an $11,000 estimate for public bidding in the design phase.
