A six-year extension of the City of Eden Prairie’s lease of Flying Cloud Airport property for youth baseball, football, soccer, and lacrosse fields is among the items on the city council’s meeting agenda for Tuesday, March 12.
The city has used airport property for what it calls its Flying Cloud Fields complex for decades. Under the new agreement, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), which owns and runs the airport, would get $30,000 from the city in 2024, with annual increases of 2.5% through 2029, according to a memo from city staff.
Coincidentally, MAC is also working on a long-term plan for Flying Cloud Airport. The agency is scheduled to have a concept plan ready for review within months.
Tuesday’s city council meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Eden Prairie City Center, 8080 Mitchell Road.
