| History A safe walkway from Main Street, Vergas to the Vergas Park has been planned for many years. With the building of the Loon Statue in 1963 it took a new importance. The Vergas City Council has been working with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (DOT) for several years designing a corridor along existing Hwy. 228 right-of-way. The estimated cost of the project is $375,000. With the help of Sen. Cal Larson, a $172,330 grant from the DOT was received contingent upon securing additional funding. A grant from the Department of Natural Resources is pending. A Rodger Hanson Memorial Fund has been established, and at present has a balance near $7,000 committed to the project. |
