Recognizing the importance our website plays in communicating and informing the public, over the next few months, we will improve its functionality for easy navigation, cleanup of dated material, and improve its overall look and feel.

American Rescue Plan Act - Financial Sustainability
The City of Chanhassen has been allocated $2,792,405.38 in federal grant aid through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021. Half of the funds ($1,396,202.69) were delivered in August 2021 and half will be delivered in 2022. The city has until the end of 2024 to complete the spending of the ARPA funds. The City Council and staff are reviewing the guidelines on how these monies can be spent to determine the most impactful utilization of said funds.

Thank you, Chanhassen! I am so proud of our community - we are number 1!

Warmest Regards,

Elise Ryan
