The St. Croix County Community Development Committee convened on June 19, 2025, to discuss various community development issues, with a significant focus on the potential development of a park in the area. The meeting began with a request from Mr. Garrity, who highlighted a community interest in establishing a park, particularly in light of an offer from Mr. Linson to sell parcels of land for this purpose.

The committee members, including Jason and Maya, expressed their reservations about the project. They noted that the city of Hudson and the village of North Hudson were not interested in developing a park, which raised questions about the county's involvement. Jason pointed out that the county does not have any parks within incorporated municipalities, and he emphasized that the proposed park was not included in the county's park plan.

As the discussion progressed, committee members voiced their opinions. Mr. Rich Shirley firmly stated that he would not support the development of a park on the jointly owned property, citing multiple concerns, including the lack of alignment with the county's park plan. He reiterated that the county should not pursue a park in this area.

Ultimately, the committee reached a consensus against the park proposal. The decision was to take Mr. Linson's offer to the administrative committee for further consideration regarding the sale of the land. The meeting concluded with a clear indication that the Community Development Committee would not be pursuing the park initiative, leaving the future of the land in question.
