Past Projects : 1989–1995 : Farmington, MN
Faced with new development
in its rural, ex-urban community, the city of Farmington engaged the
Design Center in 1993 to develop a framework and set of design scenarios
to accommodate growth and maintain its traditional, small-town character.
The scenarios were built around the goals of connecting the new development
to adjacent neighborhoods, improving water management for both water
quality gains and flood control, and creating an amenity-rich neighborhood
that added to the existing parks and open spaces of the community.
