On Thursday morning the Northfield EDA discussed a new proposed development west of town. This development would require bringing in 456 acres of Bridgewater land, mostly tilled/tillable farmland. There are several concerns about this location, and a discussion is appropriate. See reference maps below to become familiar with the land we are discussing, then see the other references for details of this proposal.
We’ll talk, and think, and consider how this fits with the various visions of what this area is. Next, at Politics and a Pint at the Contented Cow.
Details:
What: Lively discussion and good company
Where: Politics and a Pint at the Contented Cow in Northfield Minnesota
When: 6-7:30PM, 12 July 2009
