Update on Comprehensive Park, Recreation, Trail, and Facility Public Outreach Meetings due to COVID-19
March 25, 2020
Inver Grove Heights Residents,
On Tuesday, March 17 the Inver Grove Heights City Council confirmed a Declaration of a local State of Emergency for the City of Inver Grove Heights effective until Friday, April 17, 2020. Our Emergency Operations declaration indicates that we will be closed for 30 days or until such time as the local State Emergency Order is lifted, or the City Council decides otherwise. Therefore, City Hall, the VMCC, Inver Wood Golf Course and all other public facilities will be closed to the public through Friday, April 17, 2020. City staff will continue to provide essential city services such as police, fire, water and sewer utilities.
The COVID-19 situation is changing daily, and we are acting as quickly as possible to support the needs of our community. We will be postponing our Comprehensive Park, Recreation, Trail, and Facility public outreach meetings until the COVID-19 situation has been resolved. Please look for more information to follow.
If you have any questions, please contact me at ecarlson@invergroveheights.org or call me at 651-450-2587.
Sincerely,
Eric Carlson, Parks & Recreation Director
