FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED AS OF LATE WITH CELLULAR PROBLEMS, THERE WAS POSITIVE SIGNS IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, AS LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON, DOORS OPEN, AND SIGNAGE OUT TO DRAW IN CUSTOMERS AT THE VERIZON WIRELESS LOCATION IN ROSEAU, OPERATED BY RUSSELL CELLULAR. THAT LOCATION, STILL FOR UNCONFIRMED REASONS HAD BEEN CLOSED THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
THE ROSEAU COUNTY OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WANTS TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AS IT LOOKS TO UPDATE THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. THE PLANNING TEAM IS WORKING WITH A GROUP FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA-DULUTH TO UPDATE THE PLAN THAT ASSESSES NATURAL HAZARDS THAT POSE RISK IN THE COUNTY. COMMENTS, CONCERNS, IDEA, OR QUESTIONS CAN BE BROUGH TO THE OFFICE BY PHONE, EMAIL, OR SOCIAL MEDIA.
THE GRAND FORKS HERALD LOOKS AT FLOOD MITIGATION IN NORTHWEST MINNESOTA, WHERE A PROJECT HAS STARTED THAT WOULD REMOVE PART OF THE CITY OF NEWFOLDEN FROM THE 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN. A SECOND PORTION OF THAT PROJECT HOWEVER REQUIRES FUNDING FROM THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE BEFORE WORK CAN BEGIN, AND THE APPROVED FUNDING IN THE RED RIVER BASIN IS WELL SHORT OF WHAT IS NEEDED. WATERSHED MANAGERS ARE HOPING THAT $15 MILLION OF UN-DESIGNATED FUNDING CAN HELP WITH THAT AND OTHER PROJECTS.
