PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

‘What’s going there?’ An overview of new housing developments It’s clear just by driving through town that Shakopee continues to grow, with new homes and parks popping up seemingly every month. Often, residential areas take time to fully construct, with developers building homes in phases over the course of years in some cases.
