St. Cloud Weighs Letting Apartments Rise Downtown and Along Highway 10

Roosevelt Rd. & Hwy. 10 — Approximate Proposed Apartment Corridor. St. Cloud is moving to make it easier to build apartments downtown and along the city's busiest commercial roads, with a zoning change that would let stand-alone apartment buildings rise in three commercial districts where today housing is confined to upper floors above shops and offices. The proposal goes before the city's Planning Commission Tuesday, and if it clears that hurdle, it still faces a City Council public hearing and vote before anything changes.

MILLE LACS/SHERBURNE — Election Day was one to remember this year as millions of voters made their voices heard at the polls. Nationally, a blue wave swept the country as Democratic candidates were elected at an unprecedented rate. Closer to home, voters leaned red and elected a number of Republican candidates into state and federal races. Below is an overview of how the people of Mille Lacs and Sherburne counties voted in local federal and state races. U.S. Representative District 6 In District 6, Republican incumbent Tom Emmer faced-off against democratic-Farmer-Laborer candidate Doug Chapin for the two-year term. Emmer ended the night with 204,705 votes — or 55.73% — while Chapin received 162,213, or 44.16%. District 6 encompasses Benton, Carver, Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright counties.

Supplier seeks $116,000, foreclosure on historical society property

A building-materials supplier is seeking more than $116,000 from Welter Construction LLC and Roger Welter in a lawsuit that also asks for foreclosure on property owned by the Morrison County Historical Society. The case is assigned to Judge Meriel B. Lester. A scheduling conference was set for 11 a.m. Nov. 12, according to the court’s register of actions. SRS Distribution Inc. filed the lawsuit May 20 in Morrison County District Court, alleging it was not paid for materials supplied to Welter Construction for improvements to the historical society’s property. According to the complaint, SRS furnished the materials between Sept. 17 and Oct. 15, 2025. The company alleges the materials had an agreed price and reasonable value of $116,006.22 and that none of the balance had been paid. The complaint identifies Welter Construction as the company that contracted for the materials and the historical society as the property owner. It alleges the materials were used in improvements to the property with the knowledge and consent of the parties. SRS says it recorded a mechanic’s lien against the property Feb. 6. The company is asking the court to recognize and enforce that lien and order the property sold, with proceeds applied toward

Property taxes increase 3% in proposed Sauk Rapids 2027 budget

SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. — While the overall levy for the property tax in Sauk Rapids is planned to increase in 2027, the actual rate is planned to decrease slightly — which doesn’t mean taxpayers will pay less in the new year. The tax capacity for the city went up nearly 4% in the past year, Finance Director Jack Kahlhamer said during the Nov. 9 city council meeting, and the levy is planned to go up 3%. “But,” he said, “again, the tax capacity increase is really almost all existing homes.” The tax capacity can be impacted by new construction but also increases in existing property values, which could lead to higher costs for homeowners. According to the proposed budget, this is compared to 2026’s increased level of nearly 9% from the previous year with about the same increase to tax capacity. More: 3M agrees to pay billions over toxic chemical claims Utility fee increases in Sauk Rapids The other potential increase for homeowners are the public utilities and services fees. Utility fees overall will increase about 5% to 6% into the new year, according to the proposed budget. Most of the increase come from storm water fees, which will see

Waite Park city hall to reopen after more than a year of construction

WAITE PARK, Minn. — Those looking to do business with Waite Park city officials will soon no longer need to go to the public works building by the Ledge Amphitheatre. The newly renovated government center, which will include offices for Waite Park’s police and fire departments, city administration and city council will open its doors Nov. 20. More: 2 St. Cloud-area grocery stores named among the best Waite Park City Administrator Shaunna Johnson said city offices will be closed on Nov. 18 and 19 and will take business again from its new building the following day. The 80,000-square-foot building will feature a large multi-use space that will have dividers set up so it can be used as training rooms for the police department, hold city council meetings and other events the city might need. Waite Park's police department expects to see a 15-person staffing increase from 2023 to 2043, with patrol units alone jumping from 18 officers to 28. One report states the Waite Park Police Department would likely have had a nearly 20,500-square-foot space deficiency in 2040 if the expansions didn’t occur. Voters approved a referendum in 2023 for a sales tax increase to help pay for the $25

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.
