New Richland is ‘out of the crisis’ after September floods

After about 700 square miles of south and southeastern Minnesota was flooded with 6 inches or more of rain in 24 hours, senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, along with Rep. Brad Finstad, asked President Donald Trump and his administration to approve the state of Minnesota’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance. Gov. Tim Walz’s request for disaster assistance for the period of Sept. 18-20 covers Fillmore, Houston, Steele and Waseca Counties. New Richland, a city of 1,200, was flooded with about 9 inches of rain, which forced evacuations during the Sept. 19 flood. The Waseca County Board of Commissioners had declared a state of emergency after the flood. “In the city of New Richland alone, more than three-quarters of homes are damaged and residents of a skilled nursing facility were evacuated and unable to return to the facility,” the Democrats and Republican wrote in a letter to Trump on Nov. 3. “This storm event has been assessed as at least as destructive as the July 2026 mega-rain that many of these communities experienced and were recovering from just months prior.” Minnesota Realtors and the REALTORS Relief Foundation announced in October that a $70,000 grant was available

I-380 construction expected to end within 3 months

CEDAR RAPIDS — Motorists, rejoice: Construction on I-380 is nearing the end. The southbound lanes of Interstate 380 at the Highway 30 interchange no longer cross over the highway. Instead, drivers will continue straight onto the three widened lanes. This work is part of a larger project by the Iowa Department of Transportation to rebuild and widen north and southbound lanes of I-380. There still is more work to be done in the project’s north segment, which is the portion of I-380 between 120th Street and the Highway 30 interchange. The northbound stretch of the north segment isn’t in its final configuration yet, and some work on highway medians and the sides of the road remain, said John Lamping, an Iowa Department of Transportation resident construction engineer. The southbound rest stop is still closed as well, but Lamping said workers are hoping to reopen it in mid-December. The weather will determine when exactly construction in the north segment will be finished, but Lamping estimated it could happen in the next three months. The larger project’s south segment includes the stretch of I-380 north of Interstate 80 to north of Swan Lake Road. Work in the south segment is largely done,
