Second Chance home revealed in Chisholm
CHISHOLM—A house located at 214 Second Street Southwest is the first of four former tax-forfeited homes on the Range to be given “a second chance” through a new pilot program. On Tuesday representatives from the partnering entities, along with elected officials from Chisholm and Hibbing, among others, stopped by to get their first look at the newly renovated home along with displays that included before and after photos. Launched in fiscal year 2024, the Second Chance Homes Pilot Program is a partnership among Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation (IRRR), Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency (AEOA) and St. Louis County to rehabilitate formerly tax-forfeited homes and preserve to help meet a need for housing. Phase 1 includes three other homes, two in Eveleth and one in Aurora that are expected to be completed soon. The approximate $1.2 million investment is Phase 1, according to information provided by the IRRR. The work preserves existing housing, revitalizes neighborhoods and creates homeownership opportunities while helping prevent deterioration that could eventually require demolition. AEOA Executive Director Mark Page said the three bedroom, two bath home in Chisholm took about 12 months to complete. Before and after photos of the project were available for people to view

Hayward Chamber presents annual business, service awards
The Hayward Area Chamber of Commerce held their 26th annual membership awards banquet Thursday Nov. 5 at The Steakhouse & Lodge. The Chamber recognized the outstanding businesses, individuals, and organizations whose dedication, leadership and contributions help make the Hayward area a special place to live, work and play. In a speech titled “Keep the Standard High, Hayward,” Chamber Executive Director Chris Ruckdaschel said that “What makes a community special isn’t simply what it has. It’s what its people choose to do with what they have.” Ruckdaschel said that prior to moving here from Indianapolis 11 years ago, “Like so many others, we already loved this area as a vacation destination.
