2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

DR DOWNTOWNRIVERFRONT Shakopee’s downtown riverfront offers a unique opportunity for new mixed use development to complement Downtown Shakopee with modern market-rate development opportunities. Key redevelopment sites have the potential for higher densities of development than other areas of the city to maximize value and return on investment for the community. Office, hospitality, and residential uses with ground floor retail/dining components are appropriate.
