Thank you
to community
Thank you to the community of Eden Prairie and the Eden Prairie Police Department! Tuesday, Aug. 5, was National Night Out and PROP Food Shelf was the recipient of great generosity! PROP received almost 8,000 pounds of food.
The timing couldn’t have been better as the shelves were becoming empty and the need for food increasing. This effort clearly shows me that Eden Prairie is a community of support from neighbor to neighbor. Thank you all for making a difference in the lives of those who struggle to feed their families.

Thanks to Budget
Commission
I’d like to thank the Budget Advisory Commission (BAC) members for their considerable effort and many hours they logged in the past year and a half reviewing Eden Prairie’s budget and capital improvement plan. As volunteers, it is encouraging to see the dedication the commissioners gave to help analyze each city department.
