2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

Often placed underground or tucked away, infrastructure and utilities are critical to the success and livelihood of the community. Effective and efficient water, gas, electric, waste management and telecommunications systems are needed to preserve a high quality of life and support the local economy. In Shakopee, infrastructure and utilities are provided by a number of service providers – public and private – yet all must be coordinated to maintain life in modern society. Strategic planning and coordination across multiple agencies is key to the success of the city’s future, particularly as the economy evolves, the climate changes, the city grows and aging infrastructure needs repair and replacement.
