Welcome to the 2015-2016 Savage Lifestyle Guide.What makes Savage such a welcoming community?

For this year’s guide we asked for your advice and called upon a random sampling of Savage residents to tell us what they love about living here. Throughout our 2015-16 Savage Lifestyle Guide, you’ll see what they enjoy about the city, the community, the businesses and all the other amenities that make Savage not just where they live but what makes it their home.

Savage’s environmental assets include the Minnesota River, which forms the city’s northern border; the 500-acre Savage Fen Wetland Complex, which contains some of the largest calcareous fens in the state; Eagle Creek, one of the last Brown Trout streams in the metro area; and Boiling Springs, a historical landmark.

A major industry in Savage is shipping, due to the commu-nity’s location on the Minnesota River. Private facilities operate along the banks of the river to form the Ports of Savage.

The community also offers a large retail base, which in-cludes grocery stores, a variety of restaurants, retail stores and service shops. Recreational opportunities are provided

through 23 city parks, a regional park and hundreds of miles of sidewalks and trails.

Three school districts serve Savage: Prior Lake-Savage Area, Burnsville-Eagan-Savage, and Shakopee. The commu-nity has one high school, one junior high and fi ve elementary schools within its borders.

This publication offers a directory of information and resources used by Savage area businesses and residents, especially those who are new to this area.

The Lifestyle Guide is a compilation of important informa-tion — a single source for lists of services, names, telephone numbers and email addresses. Keep it handy; use it often.

Our apologies in advance for omissions or for changes that occur after publication. Please notify us of information that needs to be updated so it can be kept current throughout the year.

If you would like additional copies of this publication, call our Circulation Department at 952-345-6682. Send information for the Lifestyle Guide to Amanda McKnight at [email protected].

Boiling Springs in northwest Savage is one of the largest sand boil springs in the Midwest and the headwaters of Eagle Creek. The spring is named for the large “boils” that erupt at irregular intervals from the main pool. Boiling Springs has been considered sacred by native people since long before European contact.

FUN ALL AROUNDFun is never too far away when you’re in Savage.

You can try your luck at Mystic Lake Casino, play the ponies and try some Hold ‘Em at Canterbury Park, or test your fear of heights at Valleyfair — all of which are a short drive from Savage. But if you enjoy the outdoors, your best bets for fun may very well be within city limits.

Savage is home to 304 acres of city-managed park lands and more than 2,400 acres of state- and county-managed park space. Of the nearly two dozen parks, Community Park stands as the city’s main attraction and gathering place.

At Community Park you can fi nd a skate park, an adult softball complex, the McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center, the fi shing pier at McColl Pond, tennis courts, bocce ball courts and the Savage Sports Center, a domed sporting complex that’s open November through April. The park also plays host each year to Dan Patch Days, the city’s premier community celebration that features live entertain-ment, food trucks, games, a parade and more.

Another park that draws visitors from all over is Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve, which is 2,400 acres and operated by Three Rivers Park District. The regional park is undeveloped, and its hilly terrain makes for great mountain biking. The park’s trails are a popular attraction, hosting bike races in the summer and a snowshoeing 5k in the winter.

However, according to Beth Witt, the city of Savage’s Park and Recreation manager, Hidden Valley Park may be one of the city’s best-kept secrets.

“I think one of the hidden gems in the community is Hidden Valley Park,” said Witt. “There’s an archery range, and there’s great hiking trails that take you out of the city, [in that] they make you feel like you’re out in the country.”

The city’s fascinating history is on display throughout the town, and two of the best places to explore that history are at the depot in downtown Savage, which is now a restaurant, and the Heritage Museum inside the Savage Library.

Those who enjoy the food truck scene can get a taste of that as well at the annual Dan Patch Days celebration at Community Park. Recent offerings in-cluded ceviche, pulled-pork sandwiches, gyros, mini-donuts, cheese curds, “Black & Bleu” sliders and more.

As Savage has grown more diverse, so too has its food offerings. But seeing as Savage began as a farming community, the virtues

of freshness and healthfulness always stay at the forefront.One example is the St. Paul Farmers Market, which takes place

June through September on Sundays in downtown Savage. You can grab a cup of coffee at the depot and stroll the aisles of the market — fi lled with delectable goods like berries, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, apples and melons, as well as fresh-cut fl owers. The market features vendors who sell products that have been grown locally.

There are also several grocery stores in Savage, including ethnic markets that carry ingredients essential for Latin American and Asian recipes. There are also multiple Halal markets just over the border in Burnsville, and an Indian market in Savage also carries Halal foods.

The restaurant scene in Savage also offers something for just about anyone. From succulent Juicy Lucys to sweat-inducing Thai food, to all-you-can-eat sushi and authentic Mexican seafood, no part of the palate is left untouched.

The St. Paul Farmers Market takes place in the Savage Depot parking lot from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays in the summer. The market is fi lled with delectable goods like berries, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, apples and melons, as well as fresh-cut fl owers.

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE

Dealing with city government should be as hassle-free as pos-sible. That was the thinking behind the city campus in Savage

— a collection of public buildings grouped together for residents’ convenience.

Located at McColl Drive and Dakota Avenue, the city campus is home to Savage City Hall, the police department, the Savage Cham-ber of Commerce, the Savage Public Library, a post offi ce, and one of the city’s fi re stations. The campus was developed after city leaders decided it made the most sense to group as many government services together in one area as possible. City Hall services had previously been based out of the downtown area, but as the city grew — population-wise and geographically — leaders decided to fi nd a location that would be more convenient to a broader spectrum of residents.

“They decided to build outside the downtown area on a roadway that they knew was going to increase with traffi c over time,” said Savage City Administrator Barry Stock, “and they decided to buy enough land so that they could have the room to grow into it. That campus plan that was envisioned way back in the 1980s included pretty much what you see today... It’s really worked out nicely because it’s on a main roadway that is easily accessible from all parts of our community.”

Today, the one-stop-shop city campus has served as inspiration for some other cities across the metro.

“When people visit our community from other cities for meetings, they’re very impressed with how centrally located our campus is and how it’s a full-service campus,” said Stock. “A lot of cities over the last 20 years, when they’ve gone through expansion, have looked at our model and implemented that kind of model.”

CITY OF

SAVAGE952-882-2660

CITY OF SAVAGE6000 McColl Drive952-882-2660Barry Stock, City Administratorwww.cityofsavage.com

There are many reasons to live in Savage, with each aspect

offering a different appeal. From the community’s rich history to its convenient location, the amenities make it diffi cult to fi nd a reason not to live here.

Over the past few years, Mon-ey Magazine has twice named Savage one of the Best Places to Live in the U.S. Many reasons were cited, including location. Savage’s close proximity to Minneapolis/St.Paul and the airport certainly make us within reach of the rest of the world.

With 17 square miles and a population of 29,047, Savage of-fers a quaint, walkable downtown complete with a historic railroad depot dating back to 1880.

Throughout the city, there is a strong mix of commercial and resi-dential offerings that have helped achieve one of the highest quality of life rankings in the metro area. Although our community is near full development, new businesses continue to make their home in Savage either by building on one of the last remaining parcels or re-developing an existing structure.

Our community also is ben-efitting from high household in-comes, low crime rates, three ex-cellent school districts, a variety of grocery store choices, and life cycle housing options. We now have two dog parks within the city limits, and our recreational trail and sidewalk system grows each year.

When hunger strikes, resi-dents and visitors may choose to eat at a number of different restaurants, which range from hometown/locally-owned eater-ies to franchise favorites.

Healthcare is accessible thanks to two clinics within our city limits, and two outstanding hospitals just minutes away. Our city campus provides a variety of services in one convenient location through the city hall, police and fi re depart-ments, and post offi ce; as well as a museum and public library that are open seven days a week, year around.

Savage prides itself with atten-tion to the arts, sports, history and our environment. One-third of our city remains in open space, with approximately 304 acres of city-managed park lands, as well as 2,400 acres of state- and count y-managed park space. There are 28 miles of paved trails and 58 miles of sidewalk, some of which are open to snowmobiling in the winter.

What’s more, Savage is home to the only natural trout stream in the metro area and recently had the Credit River delisted as an impaired stream because of a concerted, multi-jurisdictional ef-fort to clean it up. The community also is distinguished by the Ports of Savage, where 6 percent of the country’s grain originates before being shipped on the river.

We have that small town feel where you can still see horses in a pasture, cattle grazing by the water tower and hay bales in the fi eld. At the same time, we have nearly everything one would need to never have to leave the city limits. This winning combination is exactly why so many people who come here, stay here.

It’s also why 97 percent of resi-dents rate the city’s quality of life as excellent or good.

-Mayor Janet Williams

As Scott County continues to lead the state in popula-tion growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott Coun-ty has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the ac-quisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly suc-cessful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to in-stalling a high-tech fi ber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.”Residents are encouraged to keep

current on County news through viewing Board meetings (avail-able online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other pro-gramming, following the county on Facebook and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with vari-ous community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

Want to get in your daily walk, even on those bitterly cold winter days? Mem-bers of the public may use the Savage Sports Center for free walking or jog-ging during the following times:

6:30-9:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednes-days and Fridays

1-3 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays

In 2013, the city of Savage declared itself a “Healthy Eating Active Living” community. So how does it try to live up to that declaration?

“How we do that is really through our recreation programs and facilities, and I think we have a really good trail and sidewalk system in town,” said Savage City Administrator Barry Stock.

The city’s extensive trail system is great for walkers, bikers, runners, cross country skiers and snowshoeing enthusiasts, and swimmers can take advantage of the pool at Lifetime Fitness for a small fee through a partnership with the city.

In addition, the city also tries to promote healthy living through policy. In 2014, the Savage City Council voted to prohibit customers from sampling tobacco products indoors at smoke shops, and it also drastically shortened the list of public places in which you can use elec-tronic cigarettes. The city also does not allow smoking in public parks.

But even the healthiest among us get sick or hurt sometimes, so thankfully there is an abundance of medical clinics to serve just about any type of ailment.

There are two main youth athletics groups that serve Savage: Prior Lake Athletics for Youth and the Burnsville Athletic Club. The groups offer leagues for baseball, football, basketball, lacrosse and many more.

LETTING LOOSE NO MATTER THE SEASONWhether you’re trying to get your heart rate racing — or even bring

your blood pressure down a few points — there is a multitude of opportunities for leisurely activity in and around Savage.

You could try your luck fi shing off the pier at McColl Pond, or you could even do some trout fi shing in Eagle Creek.

Looking to take the boat out? Prior Lake is just a few minutes south.Savage’s parks also allow for a great variety of activities, such as bocce

ball, tennis, baseball, volleyball, archery, skateboarding, horseshoes, basketball and grilling.

In the winter months, grab some friends for a game of fl ag football at the Savage Sports Center, a domed sporting complex, or head there alone to perfect your golf swing. Seven of Savage’s parks have either pleasure or hockey rinks (and some have both) that are fl ooded in the winter for your skating pleasure.

Savage Parks and Recreation Manager Beth Witt said the depart-ment is currently looking to expand its offerings based largely on national trends and feedback from the community.

Some of the most popular programs are the special events, said Witt, like Nature Fest and Music in the Park. Skateboarding classes at the skate park for kids are also quite popular.

The department is also making an effort to get seniors more involved, including some pickleball programming, trips for the Savage Senior Club, opportunities at the dome and mental-sharpness activities through Learning Rx.

“We’re trying to be respectful of the fact that our population in Savage is growing with seniors, and make sure we have opportunities for them to participate and stay active,” said Witt.

Savage has an active religious commu-nity as it is home to several Christian churches, one non-traditional spiritual center and one Buddhist monastery, which opened in 2013.

SECRET ISGETTING OUTPsst! Have you heard? Savage is being talked about as one of the best

places to live in Minnesota — and word is spreading fast.In 2011 and 2013, CNN’s Money magazine recognized Savage as

one of the best cities in which to live, not just in the state, but the entire country. In 2015, the website NerdWallet named Savage as the third-best small city for families to live in Minnesota.

Recent resident surveys support those assertions. According to a 2014 telephone survey, 97 percent of Savage residents rated the quality of life in the city as good or excellent. Many cite the city’s “small town-feel,” proximity to the Twin Cities, pristine parks, appealing businesses, and abundance of child-friendly activities as reasons why they enjoy living in Savage.

The quality of schools in the area also received high marks from the community.

Savage’s children typically attend school in one of three districts. Depending on where they live, most either attend Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools (District 719), which educates about 7,400 students, or the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District (District 191), which educates about 10,000 students. A small faction of Savage kids attend the Shakopee School District (District 720). Savage is also home to a charter school, Aspen Academy, and a K-8 Catholic School, and there is a Spanish immersion early learning center located on the Savage/Prior Lake border.

“I think [Savage] will continue to be an in-demand community. The bedroom community aspect of it is really important to a lot of people,” said Savage-based Rentro Lee Bernick, also pointing to the multitude of restaurants and shopping options in the area, accessibility to the Twin Cities and lack of “overbearing traffi c.”

BURNSVILLE-EAGAN-SAVAGE

ISD 191

The Savage community is served, mainly, by two school districts: Independent School District (ISD) 191 (Burnsville-Eagan-Savage) and ISD 719 (Prior Lake-Savage Area). A small portion of Savage is served by the Shakopee School District ISD 720. Bloomington ISD 271 also serves a small part of the city, but there are no homes in the area.

Board of EducationThe Board of Education governs ISD 191. There are seven direc-tors on the board, elected at-large. Terms overlap to ensure continuity of board membership. A Burnsville Senior High School Student Council member represents interests of students on the board, but does not have voting privileges.

It’s been a busy year for the Savage Chamber in 2015, and we anticipate that 2016 will be just as busy! If you’ve driven through Savage lately, it’s likely that you’ve seen some exciting changes hap-pening. There are new residential areas being developed, along with several new businesses opening their doors in Savage.

In 2013, Savage was named one of the top 50 small towns in Amer-ica by Money Magazine. The city of Savage was recognized for our quaint downtown, low crime rates, job growth and investment in our Savage Sports Dome, along with many other factors that include ex-

ceptional health c a r e s e r v i c e s and outstanding schools. These great amenities contribute to a fi rst-class quality of life and busi-ness climate in the city of Sav-age!

With the city of Savage being strategically lo-cated in the southwest portion of the Twin Cities, it is an attractive location for both commuters and businesses alike. Quick access across the river on Highway 169 provides residents and the busi-ness community great access to the

Interstate 494 corridor and a quick path to downtown Minneapolis, Mall of America, the airport and more. The location combined with the unique connected system of parks, open spaces, sidewalks and trails has made the city an attrac-tive location to live, work and play.

This past year has brought several residential and commer-cial development projects to the city. Several smaller residential subdivisions, consisting of 20-30 lots were submitted for approval in 2015. Another large project that was completed in 2015 is the con-struction of Cherrywood Pointe, a 93-unit assisted living and memory care facility on the City Hall Cam-pus. You’ve probably also noticed a brand new luxury apartment community being built on the north side of Egan Drive. This project is expected to be completed in 2015, as well.

Anticipated in 2016 is a large development project that includes a 20-acre commercial site at the

northeast corner of County Road 42 and 27. In addition, you can watch for the former Rainbow Foods retail space to be developed by a smaller grocer as well as a major retail clothing chain.

Mark your calendars for Dan Patch Days – June 23-26. The DPD Board of Directors and Committee are already hard at work planning another exceptional celebration for 2016. We, at the chamber, highly encourage residents and businesses to get involved! For more information on sponsorship, volunteering, or getting involved, please contact the Savage Cham-ber at 952-894-8876.

Savage continues to be a great community to do business, to live in, and to visit! We encour-age you to stop by the Savage Chamber and learn how you can get your business involved and how you can connect with your community.

Masis is the president of the Sav-age Chamber of Commerce.

Want to learn more about local busi-nesses? Check out Fall Fest at Prior Lake High School, an annual event that serves as an expo for businesses and other or-ganizations. There is also a business expo during Dan Patch Days at Community Park in June.

Savage has big-box stores and plenty of nationally known chains, but it’s the locally-owned businesses that truly give the city its charm.In the downtown area, you can fi nd kitschy antiques, musical instru-

ments, baseball cards, beautiful art, and much more.“There are a lot of fun, little hidden gems in our downtown,” said

Savage Chamber of Commerce President Anne Masis. “If people do go shopping downtown, don’t forget that’s it’s not just the main street — there’s businesses tucked back behind the main street, and it’s a fun area to explore, including great restaurants and great retail.”

Travel down County Road 42 and you can fi nd high-end fashion, an iconic garden center, electronics stores and a second-hand clothing shop, just to name a few.

Sprinkled elsewhere throughout Savage are sporting goods stores, tobacco shops, hardware stores and auto parts stores.

“We have a huge variety of businesses here in Savage, and really you don’t need to leave our borders for anything,” said Masis. “We have great retail, we have a great industrial neighborhood back over by Eagle Creek, and there’s great pockets of business everywhere you look.”

The closest mall is Burnsville Center, which is just minutes from the eastern Savage border.

Many large companies and manufacturers also call Savage home, such as Cargill, Fabcon and Continental Machines, and there are two main areas where manufacturers are located in Savage: the Eagle Creek Industrial Park off of Highway 13 South, and the Highway 13 West corridor adjacent to downtown Savage. Several businesses also benefi t from the Ports of Savage, which allows companies to transport their products via the Minnesota River.

The 3-acre Murphy-Hanrehan dog off-leash area — which opened in Savage in January 2015 — is the third dog park operated under a partnership between Scott County and Three Rivers Park Dis-trict, joining Cleary Lake Regional Park’s 27-acre site in Prior Lake and Spring Lake Regional Park’s 9-acre site in Spring Lake Township.

FIDO-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY

Residents give Savage high marks when it comes to quality of life, and if pets could take surveys, they probably would, too.

The city of Savage has two off-leash dog parks — the fi rst of which is near Highway 13 West Frontage Road and Xenwood Avenue and within walking distance from the Hamilton District and downtown residential areas. The park — which is free to use — consists of more than two acres of fenced-in area with a small and large dog section.

The second off-leash park — located at Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve — opened in 2015 and is three acres in size. It features a fully fenced site with double gate entrances, a water and dog wash station for spring, summer and fall, and an automated pay station.

Savage is also home to a wide variety of pet-related business, such as veterinarians, groomers, obedience trainers, kennels/pet-sitters, and pet supplies/food stores. Those businesses get to mark their ter-ritory during DoggiePalooza, a Savage Chamber of Commerce-run event that started in 2014.

“People love their pets in Savage, and it’s obvious,” said Savage Chamber of Commerce President Anne Masis.

Outside of the pet-related business expo, DoggiePalooza also offers contests including best trick, best dressed, Frisbee catch, and owner/dog look-alike; an agility course, as well as police K-9 and obedience demonstrations; and much more. The Savage Police Department also issues dog licenses at its booth (and at the police station year-round).

Savage is also served by the Carver-Scott Humane Society, which receives a portion of the proceeds from DoggiePalooza.
