and SRF Consulting Group to complete a land use study for the western
Shakopee/Jackson Township area. The study area is 834.5 acres -- with 554 acres
currently in the City of Shakopee and 280.5 acres in Jackson Township. HKGI and

developable land in Shakopee and is now moving to conversations and meetings
with property owners and their representatives, Jackson Township, and the City
