Confused about Highway 8?
Many people have inquired where the Highway 8 reconstruction project sits right now. It just so happens there is a community informational meeting on Tuesday June 9 at the Lindstrom Community Center. The meeting will run from 5-7pm and will feature the recommendations made by MnDOT for improving Highway 8 from Chisago City to Taylors Falls. These meetings are the best way to stay informed of what this massive project will look like. See page 4 for the advertisement. Right now, on the west end of the route the Wyoming to Chisago City #8 projects are approaching design completion and they’re buying right-of-way.
