'Farmers Market'

The City Council held a regular meeting on Monday, September 22. Here are the highlights:

• Final Outdoor Farmers Market of the Season: Join us Thursday, September 25, from 3:30 to 6 p.m. in the library parking lot for the last outdoor market of the year!
• New Retail Site for MN Sports Cards: Council reviewed plans for a new building for MN Sports Cards located north of Interstate 94, south of 7^th Street and west of Highland Way. The location will be east of the future Big Bore restaurant (formerly McDonald’s).
• Preliminary Tax Levy Set: Council approved a preliminary property tax levy of 8.64%, aligning with the projected tax base growth. This would result in an unchanged tax rate from 2025. Property owners will receive Truth-in-Taxation notices from Wright County in November, that will show estimated impacts based on proposed levy and property value changes. The Truth-in-Taxation Public Hearing is scheduled for December 8 during the regular City Council meeting. Final levy adoption will follow the hearing.
