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.
