Mission:

The City of Chaska's mission is to be the "best small town in Minnesota." Chaska, founded in 1852, has been a small town throughout its history. As the community grows, the City Council recognizes Chaska's strategic advantage by preserving its small town atmosphere. The 2000 Community Survey indicated the majority of new residents choose Chaska for its small town, friendly atmosphere. The City prioritizes projects that promote community gathering and enhance the sense of identity and pride.
