Commissioner urges action to replace long‑closed North Coring Road bridge, cites township fundraising and bonding outreach
Summary
Commissioner Coring described coordination with Saint Mathias and Fort Ripley townships to pursue replacement of a long‑closed bridge on North Coring Road, noted $85,000 in local township savings and outreach to federal and state legislators for bonding support.
Commissioner Coring used additional business time to report on efforts to replace a bridge on North Coring Road that has been closed for many years. He said townships have been saving for the project ("They said 85,000 they've saved so far") and that he has begun outreach to state and federal officials, including Congressman Pete Stauber and state legislators, to pursue bonding or other funding options. Coring said he will coordinate a joint meeting with the town boards to define steps for funding and replacement and thanked county highway staff for assembling a detailed bridge packet that includes supportive letters from Camp Ripley.
Coring said he did not ask the county for money at this meeting but emphasized the project’s local importance and the need to pursue coordinated local, state and federal support; he invited commissioners and staff to visit the site with him.
