Midco plans $20 million fiber investment in central, northeastern Minnesota

Midco plans to invest more than $20 million over several years to expand high-speed fiber internet service to approximately 14,700 homes and businesses across central and northeastern Minnesota, including several communities in and around Itasca County. The project will replace portions of the company's existing hybrid fiber-coaxial network with fiber-to-the-premises technology. The planned upgrades will cover approximately 400 miles of network infrastructure. Communities included in the project include Bovey, Coleraine, Floodwood, Hill City, McGregor and several others. Portions of Grand Lake, Greenway and Canosia townships are also included. Midco President and Chief Operating Officer Ben Dold said the investment reflects the company's long-term commitment to the region and will provide improved connectivity for residents, businesses and local institutions. Work is already underway in McGregor, where Midco is completing approximately five miles of fiber construction during 2026. The project is expected to serve about 277 locations. The company is also upgrading network facilities acquired from SCI Broadband, including installing new equipment and transitioning network systems. Midco expects to have completed upgrades to approximately half of the acquired service area by the end of 2026. Broader construction is expected to continue in phases beginning in 2027 and extending over several years. Specific

This Century-Old Meat Market In Minnesota Still Cuts, Smokes, And Wraps Everything By Hand Like It Did Generations Ago

A Minnesota meat counter once rolled out dill pepper sticks nicknamed Dilly, and they went flying out of the case. That alone got my attention. The same shop sells Swedish sausage, deboned hams, and lingonberry jam from Sweden. It also still cuts porterhouse steaks, which fewer butcher counters seem to bother with these days.

5 Minnesota Enclosed Malls That Opened Before 1970 and Still Operate in 2026.

On October 8, 1956, Southdale Center opened in Edina, Minnesota. No shopping mall in the United States had been fully enclosed and climate-controlled before it. The Dayton family had hired the architect Victor Gruen, and his plan set two levels of stores around a garden court under a large skylight, with Dayton's anchoring one end and Donaldson's the opposite one.

St. Paul's 900-Ton Mansion Crawled Five Blocks to Dodge the Wrecking Ball

A 900-ton Victorian duplex once crept through downtown St. Paul at a crawling 20 feet per hour, lifted with hydraulic jacks and conveyed on wheeled dollies past onlookers, to escape a date with the wrecking ball. Twenty-five years later, the Armstrong-Quinlan House still stands in the Irvine Park neighborhood — though its path there, and the years of struggle that followed, make for one of the stranger chapters in the city's preservation history.
