Properties
 By nature of their locations relative to downtown Cold Spring, Highway
23 and the Sauk River, each of the four sites presents individual
opportunities for development and play different roles within the city.
Links between the properties and existing landmarks can expand the value
of each site, and build a network of connected amenities within Cold
Spring. A proposed segment of the ROCORI Trail runs along the railroad
corridor and leads to the Glacier Lakes Trail to the west. The proposed
trail will link Cold Spring into other regional trail systems such as
the Lake Wobegon Trail to the north and the Quarr y Trail to St. Cloud.
Downtown Campus
The Downtown Campus site, representing the historic
home of Cold Spring Granite since 1920, is uniquely situated between
downtown Cold Spring and the Sauk River, offering unprecedented redevelopment
prospects. The Downtown Campus is the entrance to the downtown, with
excellent visibility and access from Highway 23. It is also surrounded
by three parks and adjacent to some of the most desirable downtown amenities. READ
