Board hears updates: Highway 23 corridor, landfill interests, Snake River Fur Post closure and housing facility reports
Summary
Commissioners reported on Highway 23 Northeast Corridor funding with reduced small-town fees, landfill board interest in corridor access, Minnesota Historical Society closure of Snake River Fur Post and Lindbergh House, and financial/maintenance updates for county manors; board plans follow-up meetings with the historical society.
At the end of the meeting commissioners provided routine updates on regional projects and county facilities.
A commissioner reviewed planning and support for the Highway 23 Northeast Corridor and said participation fees for small towns were lowered (noted example: reduced to $50 from $500) to encourage engagement in corridor planning. The landfill board signaled interest in corridor/permit matters and may follow up with county staff.
Commissioners raised community concern about the Minnesota Historical Society—s sudden closure of the Snake River Fur Post and the Lindbergh House; the board said Representative Nelson and Senator Rehrig met with local stakeholders and that the county will follow up with the historical society to seek clarity and next steps.
Updates on county housing facilities reported that Sandstone and Finlayson manors showed net income and that North Court faces repairs including remediation of woodpecker damage and parking-lot improvements. Commissioners said follow-up meetings would be scheduled as needed.
Administrator Kelly Schroeder and commissioners noted upcoming meetings (AMC, Truth and Taxation) and then the chair adjourned the meeting.
