Monticello data center decision delayed until Nov. 30 after divided council vote

MONTICELLO — After months of debate, mounting opposition and unanswered questions, Monticello’s proposed data center moved another step closer to approval Monday night. But the final decision will have to wait. Following four hours of testimony, presentations and discussion Nov. 9, the City Council voted 3-1 to direct staff to prepare approval documents for the controversial 547-acre development. The council will consider them at a special meeting Nov. 30, just eight days before a state-imposed deadline. The votes did not approve the data center or authorize construction. Instead, they directed staff to prepare approvals for annexation, a preliminary plat, rezoning and a conditional use permit. Mayor Lloyd Hilgart and council members Lee Martie and Kip Christianson supported the motions. Council member Charlotte Gabler opposed all four, while council member Tracy Hinz was absent. The meeting drew a standing-room-only crowd to the Monticello Community Center, with about two hours of public testimony followed by presentations and questions about financing, water use, environmental protections and the still-unidentified company that would ultimately operate the facility. Residents urged the council to reconsider, raising concerns about noise, water and electricity consumption, property values, farmland and the potential effects on neighboring homes. Among them was Evan

Maple Grove hopes for grant for 82nd Avenue/Main Street project

At its Nov. 2 meeting, the Maple Grove City Council approved support of the city’s Local Road Improvement Program grant application for funding for the 82nd Avenue and Main Street Area Rehabilitation Project. In May 2025, the council initially approved improvements to Main Street between Lakeview Drive and Weaver Lake Road, Lakeview Drive and 82nd Avenue (near Life Time and the Maple Grove Library). These plans were paused after developments at the Maple Grove Community Center and a possible performing arts center area. A feasibility report was ordered in February. The plans for the area includes new bituminous roadways, roundabouts at Main Street and 82nd Avenue and Main Street and Lakeview Drive, walking paths along the roadways, and new landscaping. These improvements would help with future traffic flows from the Maple Grove Community Center’s expansion and the Maple Grove Performing Arts Center located in the road project area. Proposed construction costs for the project area estimated at $5.95 million. City staff is looking to apply for $1.5 million in MnDOT 2026 Local Road Improvement Program grant funds to help pay for the project. According to city staff, “The grant program provides funding assistance to local agencies for constructing or reconstructing
