Grand Rapids City Council shifts to lease option for municipal dispensary plans

The Grand Rapids City Council made a site visit to what could be the city’s future municipal cannabis dispensary during its Monday, Oct. 26, work session. The city’s initial plan was to build the dispensary from the ground up, but that plan became less feasible after city officials took a closer look at the finances of Anoka’s municipal dispensary. The Anoka dispensary opened in February and has served as both a partner and model for Grand Rapids’ development plans. Because the dispensary is city-owned, Grand Rapids was able to review its financial data from February through July. According to city administrator Tom Pagel, Anoka’s business plan did not account for the city and state sales taxes calculated into its revenue. An average customer at Anoka’s dispensary was projected to spend close to $200 per visit, but building the tax into sales trimmed that number to less than $100 per visit. The Grand Rapids City Council reassessed the true cost of building and operating a municipal dispensary with the sales tax included, and determined leasing an existing site would be the safer financial decision. Pagel said the updated projections lowered Grand Rapids’ projected average transaction from $98 per visit to $88.

Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener returns to Grand Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS—With about 400,000 hunters expected in the woods this weekend, state conservation officials, tourism leaders and hunting groups gathered in Grand Rapids on Thursday for the annual Governor’s Deer Hunting Opener, held ahead of Saturday’s start of firearms deer season. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Explore Minnesota hosted a listening session at Timberlake Lodge with invited conservation organizations, Tribal partners and local businesses, followed by media interviews. A public Deer Opener Pint Night at Rapids Brewing Company, hosted by Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association and the Minnesota Wildlife Federation, capped the evening. Gov. Tim Walz was unable to attend because of schedule conflicts, according to a later DNR statement. In a statement released ahead of the event, he encouraged hunters to buy licenses through the state’s new electronic licensing system. “Deer opener is one of Minnesota’s great traditions,” Walz said. “There’s nothing more Minnesotan than spending time with family and friends in the woods, breathing in the crisp autumn air, and enjoying the outdoors together.” DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen said the gathering was a chance to reaffirm shared conservation goals. “We’re thrilled to join conservation partners and community members in Grand Rapids to

Hibbing Board explores options to fund high school roof repair

HIBBING—There are portions of the Hibbing High School roof that are leaking and are in critical need of repair, and the school board is considering options to fund the repairs. Through a 2025 Legislative change a levy option is now allowable for schools to access funds through the levy process to complete roof projects over $100,000 per site, District Business Manager Lance Takkunen explained. The School Board took up the matter as a discussion item this past week, and is anticipated to discuss the costs and levy impact for taxpayers at its next two meetings, according to Takkunen. “Our historical approach has been to do section by section roof repairs and use our LTFM (long-term facility maintenance) capital funds to fund those projects,” Superintendent Carrie McDonald explained during a discussion on the matter at the school board meeting Wednesday. “Our current challenge that we face is that the high cost is consuming a substantial amount of our capital and leaving fewer dollars for other facility needs each year.” Going from a proactive to reactive approach for roof repair An option is to do “a strategic shift” where the district would evaluate a new bonding authority to try to solve its
