5. How can I learn about the proposed sales tax to pay for park improvements?

In November, Edina voters will consider a half-percent sales tax to provide $39.3 million for improvements at Braemar Park and Arena and Fred Richards Park. The State Legislature is still considering whether to expand the sales tax proposal by an additional $25.3 million for an expansion of Braemar Arena. If approved, consumers would pay 5 cents more for a $10 purchase in Edina for 17 years.
