Grand Rapids City Council shifts to lease option for municipal dispensary plans

The Grand Rapids City Council made a site visit to what could be the city’s future municipal cannabis dispensary during its Monday, Oct. 26, work session. The city’s initial plan was to build the dispensary from the ground up, but that plan became less feasible after city officials took a closer look at the finances of Anoka’s municipal dispensary. The Anoka dispensary opened in February and has served as both a partner and model for Grand Rapids’ development plans. Because the dispensary is city-owned, Grand Rapids was able to review its financial data from February through July. According to city administrator Tom Pagel, Anoka’s business plan did not account for the city and state sales taxes calculated into its revenue. An average customer at Anoka’s dispensary was projected to spend close to $200 per visit, but building the tax into sales trimmed that number to less than $100 per visit. The Grand Rapids City Council reassessed the true cost of building and operating a municipal dispensary with the sales tax included, and determined leasing an existing site would be the safer financial decision. Pagel said the updated projections lowered Grand Rapids’ projected average transaction from $98 per visit to $88.

Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener returns to Grand Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS—With about 400,000 hunters expected in the woods this weekend, state conservation officials, tourism leaders and hunting groups gathered in Grand Rapids on Thursday for the annual Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener, held ahead of Saturday’s start of firearms deer season. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Explore Minnesota hosted a listening session at Timberlake Lodge with invited conservation organizations, Tribal partners and local businesses, followed by media interviews. A public Deer Opener Pint Night at Rapids Brewing Company, hosted by Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association and the Minnesota Wildlife Federation, capped the evening. Gov. Tim Walz was unable to attend because of schedule conflicts, according to a later DNR statement. In a statement released ahead of the event, he encouraged hunters to buy licenses through the state’s new electronic licensing system. “Deer opener is one of Minnesota’s great traditions,” Walz said. “There’s nothing more Minnesotan than spending time with family and friends in the woods, breathing in the crisp autumn air, and enjoying the outdoors together.” DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen said the gathering was a chance to reaffirm shared conservation goals. “We’re thrilled to join conservation partners and community members in Grand Rapids to

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

Last night, the 2026 midterm election results delivered plenty of historic firsts. It was a particularly powerful night for Native American representation: Democrat Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected as Governor of New Mexico, while Peggy Flanagan—the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota—became the first Native woman to win the U.S. Senate seat in her state. (And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)
