St. Michael declares Shop Small Week, talks Jamison Avenue Corridor

The St. Michael City Council declared Shop Small Week and approved a feasibility report for the Jamison Avenue Corridor extension at its meeting on Oct. 27. Discover STMA The City Council approved a resolution proclaiming Nov. 23-28 as Shop Small Week. The resolution was brought forward by Discover STMA, which is an organization that promotes local businesses in the St. Michael-Albertville area. President of Discover STMA Courtney Wiest said local businesses would receive Shop Small success kits if they registered, and they would receive ideas of how they could promote their businesses. She also said Discover STMA would use a “pop-up” method to help businesses without physical locations advertise their services. “Want to make sure all businesses in the community have the opportunity to participate, even if they don’t have a brick and mortar spot,” Wiest said. She said that businesses with enough space would host other businesses to do pop-up shops. “If we get a lot and they don’t have anywhere to go, we will find a space,” Wiest said. Another item Discover STMA is planning is to host a window-decorating contest for businesses with a prize, Wiest said. As for customers, Wiest said Discover STMA will have an

Monticello data center debate puts public trust to test

MONTICELLO — What does transparency look like when a community is divided over a controversial development? In Monticello, the question has become central to the debate over the proposed Edmonson Business Center, a roughly 547-acre hyperscale data center development proposed by Monticello Tech LLC south of 85th Street NE and east of Highway 25. The proposal has raised questions about electricity demand, water use, noise from backup generators and the financial obligations associated with the development. Some residents have accused city officials of withholding information or failing to adequately address their concerns, while others say the information is available but want more explanation of how and why decisions are being made. The city has published studies, development applications and meeting materials on its website. Public meetings have been livestreamed and recorded, an open house was held on the area’s environmental review, and government records have been made available upon request. Yet as the proposal approaches a pivotal City Council hearing Nov. 9, disagreement persists over whether making information available is the same as being transparent. For some, transparency means providing access to information and opportunities for public participation. For others, it means explaining decisions, acknowledging unanswered questions and demonstrating that

Grupa wins Elk River Ward 1 race by 68 votes

Incumbent Cory Grupa will serve another term on the Elk River City Council after narrowly defeating challenger Shelly Binsfeld in the Ward 1 race Nov. 3. Grupa received 1,125 votes, or 51.37%, to Binsfeld’s 1,057 votes, or 48.26%, a margin of 68 votes. Eight additional votes were cast for write-in candidates. Both precincts in the ward had reported. Grupa said he campaigned with the same intensity he did four years ago, including knocking on doors, but expected a close race. “I figured it would be close because she has very similar thoughts and processes and beliefs,” he said. “I just knew that it could go either way.” Grupa said he believes residents want common sense from city government, particularly when it comes to taxes and spending. He pointed to the city’s 2027 budget and levy discussions as an example of the work involved in balancing service needs with the cost to taxpayers. Looking ahead, Grupa identified the planned downtown construction project as a priority, saying the city needs to protect businesses and minimize disruption when work begins in 2027. He also pointed to Highway 10 and the Specht Farm development, long-term transportation planning, coordination with ISD 728 and the potential

Seat Cover Solutions project takes another step forward

MONTICELLO — Plans for Seat Cover Solutions’ proposed $11 million headquarters and distribution center in Monticello took another step forward Oct. 26, as the City Council approved a preliminary plat for the development. The approval comes just two weeks after the council endorsed a revised state grant application for the fast-growing automotive accessories company, which recently doubled the size of its proposed facility from 55,000 to 110,000 square feet. The development is planned for approximately 11.6 acres in Otter Creek Business Park, where Seat Cover Solutions intends to consolidate its warehouse, distribution and office operations. The proposed building would include 18 loading docks and approximately 4,775 square feet of office space, with room for future office expansion. The facility is expected to accommodate approximately 40 employees. In a separate action Oct. 26, the council also approved removing existing drainage and utility easements to allow two parcels to be combined into one property for the development. Required easements will be reestablished as part of the new plat. The plans also call for a separate easement to protect an existing wood-chip trail connecting Chelsea Road to Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park.
