Great River Energy replaces wind turbine in Maple Grove

The wind turbine outside of the Great River Energy headquarters in Maple Grove has been replaced with a more efficient turbine. The iconic turbine has been part of the Maple Grove landscape along Elm Creek Boulevard for many years. The old turbine was installed outside the headquarters building in 2007, and it generated electricity for the building for 18 years. Trevor Roy, Great River Energy Media and External Relations Lead, said, “The old turbine actually dates back to 1994, when it first went into service in the Netherlands, so it had a long and productive life before reaching the end of its useful life.” He said as the technology aged, the repairs became more difficult and costly. Replacing the turbine with newer technology was the way to go. Great River Energy actually reused parts of the old turbine. Roy said, “The new turbine isn’t taller. We’re actually reusing the existing tower and foundation, as well as much of the electrical infrastructure. The new turbine has a lower nameplate capacity, but newer technology allows it to generate electricity at lower wind speeds.” The old blades and the nacelle, which houses the mechanical components for the wind turbine, were removed the week

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

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

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.)
