Bergs Donate 40 acres for New Community Park
By Todd Moen

Carver County News
Thanks to what officials are describing as a "win-win" agreement between Jerry and Kathy Berg of Watertown
and the city, Christmas arrived a few weeks early this year in Watertown.
The Bergs are giving the city about 40 acres of land to be used for a community park, an amenity that has been
on the wish list of city officials since 2003. In return, the city has agreed to some future considerations concerning other
property owned by the Bergs. Officials estimate the donation to have a net value of just over $1 million. The agreement was
the main event at the city council meeting on Dec. 9.
