Library, pavilion will further make Arbor Lakes a city center
Maple Grove's long-envisioned civic campus has been coming together piece by piece and is about to get its biggest boost yet. City Hall came first. Then the walking trail appeared. Then lighting and landscaping. Little by little, year after year, Maple Grove's civic campus has inched forward. This summer, it'll leap. Construction will begin on a $5.5 million lakefront bandshell and pavilion. And last week, the City Council approved plans for Hennepin County's 40,000-square-foot library to be built nearby. They're two essential pieces of a vision developed in the 1990s for the Arbor Lakes area -- years before it became best known for shopping. As a staff report states: "Discussion about a library in what is now the Main Street area of Arbor Lakes began before any of what we see today materialized."
