Jordan: Preserving the past,preparing for the futureIn 1854, a man settled on a piece of land and built a loghouse in what was then called Sand Creek, but shortlythereafter became “Jordan.” Jordan’s first structures werecrude log cabins.These later gave way to modest, butsturdier structures. Often they were made of brick from alocal quarry.

Today, Jordan’s downtown area has become an antiqueshoppers’ paradise, with dealers selling their wares froma variety of buildings listed on the National Registerof Historic Places. Stay at the historic Nicolin Inn andMansion and enjoy all Jordan has to offer. Adding tothe nostalgia are the Jordan Brewery and the FeedmillRestaurant. An old-time feed mill in former years, theFeedmill Restaurant still boasts the original wood floorsand an awesome view of Sand Creek, which winds its wayalong the rear of the restaurant and downtown area. Acrossthe street is the famous Pekarna’s MeatMarket.

Jordan residents are proud of beautiful Lagoon Park.Complete with a year-round running waterfall, the parkis located on the edge of the spring-fedMill Pond. Inrecent years the city has made many improvements tothe park, including wrought iron railings, paved walkingand bicycle paths, fishing rocks and pier, a fountain anda beach. Nearby, at the new Jordan Veterans Park, morethan 300 plaques and a dozen benches honor families’ andindividuals’ involvement in military affairs, and the city’sheirloom cannon sits on a pedestal with five military seals,surrounded by flags. It’s a fitting tribute to all servicemenand women.

As growth occurs, the people and the Jordan CityCouncil strive to keep the community’s small-townflavor. Jordan honors its history during the annualHeimatfest.These unique celebrations help connectthe old and new in Jordan— it’s a great place to visitand an even better place to call home.

A scrapbook supply store, video arcade, antique stores, Chinese food, a cafe, hair salon and meat market are just the tip of Jordan’s downtown. In addition to the small-town feel, the historic brick buildings that are home to the downtown businesses give the city an old-time feel, as if to say, “our history is here to stay.”

Welcome to the 2015-2016 Jordan Lifestyle Guide.What makes Jordan such a welcoming community? For

this year’s guide we asked for your advice and called upon a random sampling of Jordan residents to tell us what they love about living here. Throughout our 2015-16 Jordan Lifestyle Guide, you’ll see what they enjoy about the city, the community, the businesses and all the other amenities that make Jordan not just where they live but what makes it their home.

In 1854, a man settled on a piece of land and built a log house in what was then called Sand Creek, but shortly thereafter became “Jordan.” Jordan’s first structures were crude log cabins. These later gave way to modest, but sturdier structures. Often they were made of brick from a local quarry.

Today, Jordan’s downtown area has become an antique shoppers’ paradise, with dealers selling their wares from a variety of buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Jordan residents are proud of beautiful Lagoon Park. Complete with a year-round running waterfall, the park is

located on the edge of the spring-fed Mill Pond. In recent years, the city has made many improvements to the park, including wrought iron railings, paved walking and bicycle paths, fishing rocks and pier, a fountain and a beach. The beauty, safety and peaceful atmosphere of this area have made it a favorite recreational spot for Jordan residents.

As growth occurs, the city will strive to preserve the community’s small-town flavor. Jordan honors its history during the annual Heimatfest celebration.

There are no bouncing nightclubs or million-dollar theaters in Jor-dan, but there are hot air balloon rides, ziplines, paintball, a retro

arcade, walking paths, a pond for swimming and fi shing, and a whole lot more.

Jordan is home to many attractions, from the big yellow barn that serves as Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store to the Jordan Mini Met, which is home to the Jordan Brewers and the city’s other leagues, including the Jordan Alers, Jordan Millers and the American Legion Post 3 team.

“People do not know about how fun it is to hang out at the Mini-Met,” said Community Education and Recreation Director Nate Warden, who added the stadium is one of his favorite places to frequent.

History buffs and those with an appreciation for culture and history will enjoy Jordan’s downtown, which boasts 20 historic buildings, including the old brick Jordan City Hall building and jail, the old St. John’s School, the Jordan Brewery, and the Nicolin Opera House, which is now a coffee shop.

“It is great. I know we get a lot of people from out of town that shop and look around, and it is something they can hopefully keep up,” longtime resident Ken Hanson said of Jordan’s historic district.

Jordan is currently in the process of transforming one of the downtown buildings into a permanent home for the Jordan Historical Society.“We hope that it is going to be a great attraction for downtown as well. There are a lot of historical items downtown, either stored in our building or people’s houses that we could display,” said Jordan City Administrator Tom Nikunen.

When the water is high, Jordan’s Sand Creek is also a popular place for whitewater rafters. The creek is listed on the American Whitewater website, and local business owner Maureen Carlson has spotted people in kayaks and even inner tubes fl oating down the creek.

ATTRACTIONS

I f there is one area Jordan is hoping to grow in the near future, it is the food industry.

Jordan currently has a mix of fast food joints and local cuisine, includ-ing a Chinese restaurant, two apple orchards, a winery, a coffee shop, European dining, the state’s largest candy store, some of the best fried chicken around and plenty of burgers.

“People love the Chinese restaurant,” local business owner Maureen Carlson said. “They work so hard in there, and they work hard to keep it fresh.”

As the city prepares for planned growth, City Administrator Tom Nikunen said they are hoping to attract a Mexican or Italian-type res-taurant. Although the historic Feed Mill closed its doors in April, new owners have been found and the restaurant re-opened on Oct. 1.Plans are also underway to open a new supper club in what used to be the OK Corral. Renovations are currently underway and the Jordan Supper Club is aiming to open its doors in mid-November with a dining area and tap room.

A new microbrewery is also scheduled to open in Jordan in the fall, with not only homemade microbrews, but homemade root beer as well.

Residents also enjoy a number of fi sh fries and pancake breakfasts throughout the year, and the Scott County Fair offers a wide range of food, from elk burgers to deep-fried Oreos, cheese curds, fry bread topped with fruit and everything in between.Jordan resident and Community Education Director Nate Warden thinks the local food events like the fi sh fries are one of the city’s hid-den gems.

“All of the little things that happen at churches like the pancake breakfasts, the spaghetti dinners, I love those things about Jordan,” Warden said. “Those are fun and they are popular too. It is fun to con-nect with people and to have good food at a good price.”

SMALL TOWN FLAVOR

“It looks more beautiful down-town. I think it is walkable and it is a big improvement for our down-town.”

-City Administrator Tom Nikunen, on the down-town improvements

City of Jordan staff members are tasked with a challenge: helping the city grow while maintaining the small-town feel and atmo-

sphere.The council is made up of six council members and the mayor. The

council also receives input on issues from its committees: the Plan-ning Commission, Parks and Rec Commission, Economic Development Authority, the Downtown Advisory Committee and the Jordan Safety Committee.

Looking to the future, the city will be tackling a few big projects, in-cluding the Southwest Interceptor, street repairs, and attracting new businesses, especially restaurants, to downtown Jordan.

Residents are able to register their vehicles at the Jordan City Hall, a service Jordan City Administrator Tom Nikunen said is not well known.

“We keep that deputy register here because it is a service to the auto dealers in town, plus it gets people to our downtown,” Nikunen said.

The city also recently completed a downtown improvement project to the city’s streets and sewer and water lines.

“It looks more beautiful downtown. I think it is walkable and it is a big improvement for our downtown,” Nikunen said.

Jordan resident Joe Wagner serves as one of the commissioners on the Scott County Board. In the last legislative session, the county board voted to enact a half-cent sales tax to fund regional transportation proj-ects through 2022.

According to Wagner, one of the issue the board will be dealing with is what projects to fund within Scott County.

As Scott County continues to lead the state in popula-tion growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott Coun-ty has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the ac-quisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly suc-cessful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to in-stalling a high-tech fi ber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.”Residents are encouraged to keep

current on County news through viewing Board meetings (avail-able online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www.co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other pro-gramming, following the county on Facebook and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with vari-ous community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

“Having a pharmacy and clinic was always a big deal and when it came here people were really excited.”

-Kat Pass, communications and marketing specialist for the Jor-dan School District

Despite its small-town size, Jordan residents do not have to travel far to get medical care. The city is home to two dental practices,

three chiropractic businesses and even has its own clinic and pharmacy.The clinic and pharmacy opened in the spring of 2013. Services and

features include X-ray services, a full medical lab and an electronic medical record system allowing for seamless transition of health in-formation, as well as the pharmacy with drive-through service located next door.

“Having a pharmacy and clinic was always a big deal, and when it came here people were really excited,” said Kat Pass, communication and marketing specialist for the Jordan School District.

Emergency services are provided by the Jordan Police Department, the Jordan Fire Department and the Allina Ambulance and Ridgeview Ambulance services.

The city also provides a number of resources, including mental health, community health care, safety programs such as D.A.R.E., as-sisted living, memory care and Meals on Wheels, according to Jordan City Council member Tanya Velishek.

The city is also focused on physical health, with a number of walking and bike paths in the city.

“I think there is as much health-related amenities in the city of Jor-dan than there is anywhere,” Jordan Police Chief Brett Empey said.

“I love how you are close to the cities, but you feel like you are in the country too.”

-Maureen Carlson, local business owner

Life in Jordan may be small-town, but it offers fun, exciting and even simple pleasures for individuals and families alike. Lagoon Park is a

popular family spot. The walking path will take you past Mill Pond, where children can swim, fi sh, boat or even build a sand castle. A nearby play-ground and shelters make the park a popular spot for graduation parties, birthday parties or even social get-togethers.

Celeste Mendez and her son Henrry moved into Jordan in March of 2015 and make trips to Lagoon Park two or three times a week. “I like the pond; it is clean. I like the volleyball courts, the shade under trees, the waterfall. I like all of it,” Mendez said while her son splashed near the shore of Mill Pond. Mother and son also enjoy playing soccer in the open fi eld and having picnics by the scenic waterfall. While Lagoon Park is Jordan’s regional park, it is just one of many in the area. Riesgraf Lions Park offers a peaceful place to grill out and throw some horse-shoes in the newer downtown business district, while Holzer Park is a great place to check out a local softball game or two.

The annual Heimatfest event in September offers locals a chance to eyeball classic cars, lace up their running sneakers and relish their German heritage. A new event held in Jordan in July is the Illuminight 5K. The event drew more than 200 runners and walkers downtown to participate in an evening run. The local library not only has a wide collection of books for all ages, it also features fun displays throughout the year. It might showcase Lego creations crafted by local youth or a display case fi lled with Teddy bears throughout the ages. Looking for a fun, free family activity? The city also boasts a number of geocaches. Can you fi nd them all?

Jordan Heimatfest organizers said turnout for the 2015 summer festival was strong with all the German music, food and live entertainment that took place from early morning until fi reworks capped off the evening.

“It is going to be a game-changer.”

-Nate Warden, on the new CERC building

LIVIN

G

Jordan received a major nod from Niche this year when it was ranked second among Minnesota towns for Best Place to Raise a

Family. The list included all municipalities in Minnesota with a popula-tion of less than 100,000 people and ranked towns based on school ratings, crime rates, age demographics and access to affordable hous-ing and childcare.

“The parks we have are very nice; there are a lot of trails and the small-town atmosphere,” said Jordan City Administrator Tom Ni-kunen.

When it comes to reading, math and science profi ciency, the Jordan School District continues to score well above the state average, and the school district’s facilities and technology are one of the many as-pects that contribute to Jordan’s quality of living.

In the upcoming months, the city and school district will be open-ing a Community Education and Recreation Center, known as CERC. The facility will include a three-gym station, an elevated walking track, fi tness center, community locker rooms and a community room with kitchenette and will be open to the district and community.

“It is going to be a game-changer,” Jordan Community Education and Recreation Director Nate Warden said.

According to Warden, the district also offers a rec program year-round for students, including fl ag football, tackle football, volleyball, a cross country camp, Legos after school, art classes, Kids Company, winter basketball, a running club, and more.

“Most of the businesses that we have at this time are doing well and expanding for the growth of their business.”

-Jordan City Administra-tor Tom Nikunen

Jordan combines its history with a growing business scene. Take a simple walk downtown and you will fi nd yourself transported

back in time 100 years. Antique stores, an arcade, a studio photogra-pher, a meat market and craft stores are some of the businesses that reside in Jordan’s historic brick buildings. The Jordan Historical Society will soon have a permanent home downtown to store and display arti-facts from Jordan’s past.

A half-mile away, the new Jordan business district is growing. In recent years, many Jordan businesses have expanded their opera-tions, and four more businesses in the newer downtown area will be expanding in the upcoming months. Plans are also underway to build a new hotel in town.“Most of the businesses that we have at this time are doing well and expanding for the growth of their business,” Jordan City Administrator Tom Nikunen said.

As new businesses move into town, Jordan is also preparing to grow its housing market. Jordan currently caters to homebuyers and those in the Valley Green Mobile Home Park, but a project in the works will meet a high demand for those living in Jordan.

“We are working on an apartment facility we hope to land yet this year,” Nikunen said.

Nikunen said he believes Jordan’s various housing options con-tributed to its being ranked the second best town in the state to raise a family by Niche this year.

Dogs over four months of age must be li-censed in Jordan. The cost of a license is $10 and a proof of rabies vaccination is necessary.

Jordan may not yet have a dog park, but a stroll along Mill Pond is a fun destination for dog lovers. When the sum-

mer sun beats down, sometimes a dip in the refreshing pond is all your buddy Max asks for.

If your pet is feeling a little under the weather, Jordan also boasts a local veterinarian capable of caring for your family pet, exotic pets and horses.

There is also a canine boarding/daycare facility in city limits, and one local resident shows her love for man’s best friend by providing a safe haven for humane society rescues.

The city also recently approved a chicken ordinance allow-ing up to four hens per household.

“Jordan is great for pets because we are very community-friendly,” said Jordan City Council member Tanya Velishek.

Jordan youth also show a variety of animals at the Scott County Fair, from bunnies and sheep to goats, cows and pigs. This year, Jordan area youth dominated the goat category, walking away with most of the Grand Champion and Reserve Champion titles.

Jordan is also home to Ames Percherons. The large draft horses are owned by Dick Ames, who shows them every year at the Scott County Fair. The fair offers one of the largest draft horse fairs in the nation, and this year the local horses trotted away with six awards, including fi rst place in the team, four-horse hitch and eight-horse hitch divisions.“They are beautiful, it is something you don’t see in the city,” said longtime resident and business owner Maureen Carlson. “They are so majestic and they are just beautiful.”
