The tunnel under County F connecting the River Crest Elementary campus and Camp St. Croix has been fully funded through donations, fundraising, some user fees and the YMCA of Greater St. Paul.
Hudson School Superintendent Mary Bowen-Eggebraaten made the announcement at the Aug. 9 Board of Education meeting. The cost of the tunnel was shared equally by the YMCA and the school district, their share to be raised from outside sources and not funded by the taxpayers.
The district’s share of the tunnel was $111,000. The donors included:
River Crest Elementary Parent Group;
Hudson Daybreak Rotary, The RiverBank, anonymous, Education Foundation of Hudson, Erik, Kristian and Sonya Bell, Hudson Community Fund, a donation in memory of Robert H. Lee and the Rowen family;
The district also raised $6,000 from the sale of engraved pavers used in the tunnel and $3,500 from excess transportation fees.
