Important areas of <br />focus include the area's rich Native American <br />history and culture, historic Downtown <br />settlement, the Minnesota River, and a <br />celebration of modern-day Shakopee. <br />• The plans and graphics generated excitement <br />among local business owners who were eager <br />for new public gathering spaces downtown to <br />attract new users. <br />Over the past 40 years, multiple studies have been conducted in Downtown Shakopee. The City hired Loucks <br />to review past plans and translate historical recommendations into actual design solutions to form a vision to <br />enhance the public realm in Downtown. Loucks conducted additional analysis to determine the four major <br />project spaces that would have the largest impact to Downtown. Design solutions created better gateways <br />into Downtown, dynamic public gatherings spaces to accommodate a variety of events, and increased <br />awareness and connections to Huber Park. <br />PLANNING I CIVIL ENGINEERING I LAND SURVEYING I LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE I ENVIRONMENTAL <br />
