Strengthen Infrastructure Repair and/or replace deteriora ng garden features: stairways, planters, walkways, fences, trees/plant material, water pond, parking lot 2. Increase Sustainability and Energy Efficiency Introduce storm water management, improve drainage, irriga on, and improve energy efficiency. 3. Expand Accessibility and Safety Upgrade accessibility throughout, improve safety features, and replace furnishings.
Funding Overview Project Funding Sources: A. Legisla ve Bonding Appropria on: $8,500,000 B. Mississippi Watershed Management Organiza on (MWMO): Up to $1,500,000 Project Budget: $10,000,000 Funding language/uses: Legisla ve Bonding Bill: Sculpture Garden Drainage Control For a grant to the Minneapolis Park and Recrea on Board to predesign, design, and construct renova on of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, which displays art owned by the Walker Art Center, subject to Minnesota Statutes, sec on 16A.695.
