School board approves bonds for building upgrades, parking

More parking at two schools and air quality improvements at the high school are part of a facility improvement package moving forward in Little Falls Community Schools. The Little Falls School Board on Monday approved a resolution authorizing up to $23.265 million in general obligation bonds. The financing would cover air quality upgrades, roofing, high school remodeling and parking improvements at Little Falls Community High School and Lincoln Elementary School. For the owner of a $225,000 home, district officials estimated the package would mean about $150 more in annual property taxes. The increase would come in two steps: roughly $110 in taxes payable in 2027 and another $40 in 2028. “If you take it all together, the estimated tax impact is $150 on a $225,000 home,” said Michael Hart, who presented the financing plan to the board. The resolution sets a maximum interest rate of 6%. Before approving the financing, the board held a public hearing on a nine-year property tax abatement for the parking projects. No one offered comments or questions. Plans call for 86 additional parking stalls at the high school and 26 at Lincoln. At the high school, the work would reduce parallel parking along the south

Highway 610 renamed in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman

Members of the Hortman family joined state lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz for the unveiling of new signage designating Highway 610 as Hortman Memorial Highway — in honor of House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. The highway runs through the district Hortman served, which encompasses parts of Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids and Champlin. The Hortmans’ children, Colin and Sophie, were among the family members who were at the Nov. 5 dedication in Brooklyn Park. “I hope that every time someone drives down Highway 610 and sees Melissa and Mark’s names, they’ll remember the lives they lived, the people they loved, and all they gave to Minnesota,” Walz wrote in a statement. At the ceremony, Walz noted Speaker Emerita Hortman played a "pivotal role" in securing funding for Highway 610. The new name was made official during the most recent legislative session, when Minnesota lawmakers tasked the transportation commissioner with adopting “a suitable design” to display on signage along the thoroughfare. Sen. John Hoffman sponsored the legislation to rename the highway, along with Rep. Erin Koegel. Hoffman spoke at the Nov. 5 dedication, where he highlighted Hortman's various contributions to the communities the highway passes through. "On the
