The Minot Park District will host a community informational event on Wednesday, May 20, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in Oak Park on a proposed ballot measure for a half percent sales tax for the district. This open-house style event is designed to give residents an opportunity to learn more about the proposed sales tax initiative and the future of Minot’s parks, trails and facilities.

Community members are encouraged to stop by at any time during the event to review plans up close and have one-on-one conversations with Minot Park District board members and staff. The event format will allow attendees to ask questions, gather information and gain a clearer understanding of how the proposal would support maintenance of existing amenities as well as future capital improvement projects.

“This is a great opportunity for community members to ask questions, connect with our board and staff and learn more about what’s being proposed,” said Elly DesLauriers, executive director for Minot Parks. “We want people to feel informed on the proposal as they head into the June 9 vote.”
