Survey Deadline: January 10, 2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What project feels right for MPR?\u00a0<\/strong>As part of preparing the 2026 Workplan, City Council has recommended several project ideas over the past few months as their \u201cwishlist\u201d items for consideration. As the EDC reviews these ideas, we want to understand how residents feel about them. This survey is one part of the information we\u2019ll use as we develop the full Workplan, and your feedback helps us see what matters most to the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

The EDC will also select\u00a0<\/span>one $30,000 priority project of its own<\/span><\/strong>, which will be included alongside the Council\u2019s submission in the final Workplan.<\/span><\/p>\n

This page provides the\u00a0<\/span>full descriptions of the Council\u2011submitted project options<\/span><\/strong>. Your input is a meaningful part of our overall research and helps guide the EDC as we evaluate which project should move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are the full descriptions of each project under consideration. After reviewing them, please return to the survey and select the project you believe should be the top priority for inclusion in the 2026 Workplan.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Ansay Park Pavilion<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ansay Park is one of Morgan\u2019s Point Resort\u2019s most frequently used neighborhood parks, but it currently lacks shaded gathering space for families, seniors, and small community activities. This project would fund the design and construction of a small pavilion or shade structure with picnic tables. The pavilion would support birthday parties, family gatherings, youth activities, and informal community use. It would also improve comfort and usability during hot weather. This is a modest, high\u2011impact improvement that enhances a park many residents already enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Decentralized Septic System Feasibility Study<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

As Morgan\u2019s Point Resort continues to grow, the City must understand what future wastewater options are realistic and affordable. This project would fund a professional feasibility study evaluating whether decentralized septic or cluster systems could support future development, reduce strain on existing systems, or provide alternatives in areas where traditional septic is challenging. The study would include site analysis, cost ranges, regulatory considerations, and long\u2011term maintenance implications. This is a planning\u2011focused project that helps the City make informed infrastructure decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Neighborhood Communication Digital Sign<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Residents consistently express a desire for better communication about city events, emergency notices, closures, and community activities. This project would fund the purchase and installation of a digital communication sign at a key entry point into the city. The sign would allow the City to share timely updates, promote events, and improve visibility of important information. This project focuses on transparency, communication, and resident engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Event Center Curbside Appeal Improvements<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Morgan\u2019s Point Resort Event Center is used for community events, rentals, meetings, and gatherings, but its exterior appearance does not reflect its importance to the community. This project would fund landscaping, parking lot, and exterior improvements to enhance curb appeal and make the facility more welcoming. This project supports community pride and increases the Event Center\u2019s appeal for both residents and renters.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Upper Marina Activation \u2013 Phase 1A Feasibility & Conceptual Design Package<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Upper Marina is currently an undeveloped area with only the old storage trailers remaining. This project would fund a full feasibility and conceptual design package to explore future activation of the site. Phase 1A would include a site plan, septic\u2011friendly layout options, circulation analysis, cost ranges, and conceptual renderings. The study would evaluate possibilities such as a small pavilion, food\u2011truck court, primitive camping, and improved gathering space. This planning phase would prepare the City for future grant applications and guide long\u2011term development of a lake\u2011oriented community amenity.<\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Four Corners Curb Appeal\/Business Grants:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The EDC will establish a voluntary matching grant program for commercial property owners\/business owners (including but not limited to the following projects:\u00a0 Facade refresh, fence replacement or repair, parking lot resurfacing or striping, landscaping and planters, trash enclosures (upgrades), signage, removal or blight or debris or ADA compliance.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Next Step<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0After reviewing these project descriptions, please return to the survey and select the project you believe should be the EDC\u2019s top priority for inclusion in the 2026 Workplan.<\/span><\/p>\n
