Maple Plain OKs assessment for reconstruction project

The Maple Plain City Council approved a special assessment as part of the 2026 Downtown Reconstruction Project at its Oct. 26 meeting. It was another difficult vote for the councilmembers in attendance, but all four were in favor of the assessment, which will help pay for improvements to infrastructure originally built between 1930 and 1960. “This is my 12th year as an elected and my seventh assessment hearing, and I’d say they’re always the hardest for me,” said Maple Plain Mayor Julie Maas-Kusske. “Knowing that every single person sitting in this room will be assessed at one point or another; it is not easy, it is hard, and I know everyone works hard for every dollar they have.” The city can assess specials at a rate of between 20 and 50 percent but has traditionally tried to split the difference at around 35 percent. “In particular with this project, the city covered everything we possibly could,” the mayor said. Most of the pavement throughout the project area has deteriorated to the point that traditional maintenance is no longer effective. Additionally, water main pipes are fragile and subject to breaks, according to a staff report. Also, the sewer pipes are susceptible

B-Dubs a GO in Waconia as new site opens doors

Buffalo Wild Wings GO has opened a new restaurant at 144 Depot Drive in Waconia, the brand’s latest expansion in Minnesota as it pursues franchise growth across the state. Locally owned and operated by Matt Knodt and Lacey Pavek, the newest Buffalo Wild Wings GO location is the first in Waconia. BWWGO is built around takeout and delivery, so it’s a smaller version of B-Dubs serving the same wings, sauces and dry rubs Minnesotans have known from Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, say the owners. The smaller GO format allows it to reach towns like Waconia that never fit a full sports bar, company officials said. “Minnesota has been home to Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, and GO is giving us a new way to grow the brand in communities across the state,” said John Dawson, president of U.S. development at Inspire Brands. “Waconia is a great example of how well GO’s smaller format fits a growing community, and markets such as St. Paul, St. Cloud, Alexandria and Red Wing offer the same kind of opportunity. We’re excited to partner with operators who want to be part of GO’s next chapter in Minnesota.” With more than 220 standalone locations open

For new Brazilian steakhouse, Maple Grove location is a homecoming

Bullvino’s Brazilian Steakhouse will soon be opening its fourth location and occupying the former Golden Corral site in Maple Grove, at 13603 Grove Drive. The restaurant has other locations in St. Paul, Bloomington and Bolingbrook, Illinois. There are also plenty of Minnesota and Maple Grove connections. Blake Hagert, owner/partner with Bullvino’s, said the restaurant is a family-owned and locally-owned Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, rooted in the gaucho tradition of southern Brazil. “Our founder, Marcio de Morais, was born in Rio Grande do Sul, the birthplace of gaucho culture, and opened our first restaurant in St. Paul in 2019 to bring that tradition to Minnesota," he said. “The name says what we're about. ‘Bull’ is for the premium cuts we hand select, and ‘Vinos’ is for the wine tradition of South America.” Dinner is churrasco style, the way it's done in Brazil. “Our gauchos fire roast up to 21 cuts over open flame, bring them to your table on the skewer and carve them right in front of you. That includes picanha, the signature cut of Brazilian churrasco,” Hagert said. He noted that each diner gets a two-sided medallion. One side will let the gauchos keep bringing food and the red
