Program areas at Lake Effect Conservancy
Led by two enlightened, lead donors, the Conservancy was able to raise more than $1,200,000 in private funding to complete the city's needs for phase 2 of the project. This was a major accomplishement of the Conservancy's mission. Construction began on wayzata's 100-year dream for a lakeside boardwalk, now called the panoway "lakewalk", renovating its deteriorating public docks and renewing its waterfront ecology. The project was subsequently completed in june 2024. We continued our efforts in raising funds and awareness of phase 3 of the panoway project, which includes preservation and renovation of the section foreman house and the eco park. We received over $75,000 of donations earmarked for this phase of the project in 2023.
