6. Benefits of Boathouses <br /> Nearly every study we've found under the topic"sports facility housing value"validates the notion that there is a <br /> positive linear correlation with housing values and sports/activity venues. In discussions with the Minneapolis Park <br /> Board,their findings show that when a neighborhood features a unique regional feature, specifically boathouses or <br /> other structures that complement the landscape,there is a positive impact on real estate and property values, <br /> with a positive correlation to proximity. This is especially true when the building provides an opportunity for the <br /> community to participate in activities during multiple seasons. <br /> 7. History of Public/Private Partnerships in Minnesota <br /> In the state of Minnesota,and across the country,there is a long history of public/private partnerships with <br /> organizations,including rowing teams,operating on public land (specifically park land). For example,the Loppet <br /> Foundation recently partnered with Minneapolis Parks and Recreation at Theodore Wirth Regional Park on a <br /> 14,000 square foot building. In Minnesota,there are many examples of public/private partnerships with rowing <br /> organizations.The rowing organizations provide a building,equipment,and staff and are then able to offer <br /> opportunities and programming to members of the community. Minnesota organizations with these types of <br /> partnerships include: <br /> Rochester Rowing Club, Rochester Duluth Rowing Club, Duluth <br /> Minneapolis Rowing Club, Minneapolis Minnesota Boat Club,St. Paul <br /> Twin Cities Youth Rowing, Eden Prairie <br /> New: <br /> • Lake Phalen Rowing,operating in partnership with St Paul Parks and Recreation,and schools in surrounding <br /> communities <br /> • North Star Community Rowing partnered with the City of Minneapolis to develop an ADA-compliant riverfront <br /> dock launching site,and with Three Rivers Parks for a secondary site. <br /> Rowing Minnesota <br /> For a closer look at what rowing in Minnesota,and specifically on Long Lake,is all about,watch the"Rowing <br /> Minnesota"feature that aired on Minnesota Bound June 23,2017. <br /> https://vimeo.com/234911469/1fd90367bc <br /> • <br />
