Roseville, Minnesota

ROSEV I LLE , MINNESOTA “Our permitting policies are very easy for people who would like to introduce solar, and there’s continued focus and effort on doing what we can to be greener here at City Hall,” Gundlach says. “One of the objectives of the public finance assistance policy is more green and sustainable development. The EDA, if it is able, would consider contributing money toward new development projects that incorporate more sustainability into the overall design. I would also add, the city purchased its first Plug in Hybrid (PHEV) this year, and intends to purchase more electric vehicles as existing vehicles come up for replacement.” Finally, Roseville is also proud of its parks and recreation facilities. There are 32 public parks in the city, covering 679 acres, with 67 miles of trails. Roseville is one of only five cities in Minnesota to be CARPA (Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies)- accredited by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), the leading non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of public parks, recreation, and conservation. The Harriet Alexander Nature Center, an oasis nestled within the borders of Roseville’s Central Park, has a boardwalk and trails that circulate through 52 acres of marsh, prairie, and forest habitats. The Roseville Skating Center is a unique community facility, with an indoor ice arena, Guidant John Rose Minnesota Oval – North American’s largest sheet of refrigerated outdoor ice, an outdoor skate park, and multi-purpose banquet/meeting rooms.
