Three projects to transform our community.
Community Center
The Community Center at Augsburg Park is a 60-year-old reused library, and it isn’t meeting our community’s needs. If approved, the sales tax will build a larger, modern community center that includes fitness amenities and more space for community groups.
What’s included?
- $45 million total investment
- A new, larger building likely on the same site (final determination to be made based on community input)
- Energy-efficient, accessible, inclusive building design
- Athletic / gym facilities for the community
- Better meeting spaces
Woodlake Nature Center building
The more-than-50-year-old building at Woodlake Nature Center will be replaced with a more welcoming facility for all ages and abilities.
What’s included?
- $26 million total investment, including external funding
- A new, larger building on the same site
- Modern accessible, energy-efficient features
- Better accommodations for school trips, more community space, and rentable banquet space
Veterans Park Pool and More
The Veterans Park Pool is at the edge of failure, jeopardizing summer fun for Richfield families. The project will replace the pool liner and provide other needed improvements to Vets Park.
What’s included?
- $9 million total investment
- Full replacement of the pool liner and basin (the pool structure itself)
- New / repaved trails and signage park-wide
- HVAC upgrades at the Ice Arena
- Minor improvements to the community bandshell
This website is a political campaign organized by neighbors who support voting YES on all three questions.
However, the City of Richfield maintains a website with neutral information about the projects, as well as details about how the tax will work. We encourage you to learn more about these projects here:
