New Richland is ‘out of the crisis’ after September floods

After about 700 square miles of south and southeastern Minnesota was flooded with 6 inches or more of rain in 24 hours, senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, along with Rep. Brad Finstad, asked President Donald Trump and his administration to approve the state of Minnesota’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance. Gov. Tim Walz’s request for disaster assistance for the period of Sept. 18-20 covers Fillmore, Houston, Steele and Waseca Counties. New Richland, a city of 1,200, was flooded with about 9 inches of rain, which forced evacuations during the Sept. 19 flood. The Waseca County Board of Commissioners had declared a state of emergency after the flood. “In the city of New Richland alone, more than three-quarters of homes are damaged and residents of a skilled nursing facility were evacuated and unable to return to the facility,” the Democrats and Republican wrote in a letter to Trump on Nov. 3. “This storm event has been assessed as at least as destructive as the July 2026 mega-rain that many of these communities experienced and were recovering from just months prior.” Minnesota Realtors and the REALTORS Relief Foundation announced in October that a $70,000 grant was available

Fairmont City Council Works on Solution for City’s Tree Dump

(Fairmont) The Fairmont City Council is working to address ongoing overcrowding and maintenance problems at the city’s tree dump. Public Works Director Matthew York says crews maintain the site two to three times a week, but the lack of weekend staffing has contributed to access problems. Having employees on site both Saturday and Sunday could cost between 12-hundred and 24-hundred dollars. Council members discussed adding Saturday staffing and scheduling a work session to develop a long-term solution, including the possibility of burning accumulated debris. In other business, the council declared buildings at 112 and 114 West Fourth Street hazardous and ordered them repaired or demolished. The council also approved a transmission line easement with Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, and they directed the $14,000 payment for the easement to be put toward improvements at Bull Head Park.
