Upcoming Events
Area residents encouraged to attend Highway 68 Minneota to Marshall online open house

WILLMAR, Minn. – MnDOT District 8 is encouraging area residents to attend the Highway 68 Minneota to Marshall online open house.

MnDOT is making improvements to approximately eleven miles of Highway 68 from North Grant Street in Minneota to the Redwood River in Marshall in 2022. These improvements include drainage improvements and widening of the existing shoulders. Drainage improvements near Porter are also included in the project. This project is expected to be completed in one construction year. Traffic will be detoured during different construction stages.

Following guidance from state health officials about protecting the health and well-being of Minnesotans and preventing further spread of COVID-19, MnDOT District 8 is offering an online open house for the Highway 68 project from September 18 through October 2. The open house will remain on the project webpage after October 2, but comments will have to be submitted through the project webpage or by contacting Chris Nienaber, Project Manager.

The Highway 68 online open house allows participants the opportunity to learn more about the project, view the current project layout, ask questions and give feedback. The open house is posted on the project webpage. Community members are invited to attend as it is convenient for them.

Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) invites and encourages participation by all. We believe everyone should have an equal opportunity to enjoy the programs, services and activities we provide.

City of Marshall and Visit Marshall launches the “Cultivating Your Comeback” Marketing Campaign

Visit Marshall and the City of Marshall is launching their “Cultivating Your Comeback” marketing Campaign. This campaign is asking local Marshall businesses to submit their COVID plan onto the www.CultivatingMarshall.com website. This will show that we, as a community are prepared with safe measures, and following governor guidelines. We are hoping that it will make visitors feel safe to come back to town to eat, shop, explore and stay in Marshall. “When you submit your plan, you will get a pack of marketing materials to help show that we are coming together as a community to show that we are prepared.” said Visit Marshall Director Cassi Weiss. The pack of marketing materials will include a window cling, PDF of the campaign guidelines, and digital logos for social media and website.

Visit Marshall will also be using this campaign for marketing around the area, to try to promote visitors to come back to town. “The goal is to make this a 1-2 year marketing campaign that will adjust with what’s going on as the state orders change our campaign will change” said Weiss.

Businesses can submit their plans now on the www.CultivatingMarshall.com and will be given their marketing packet once submitted. Visit Marshall and the City of Marshall say that the “Cultivating Your Comeback” campaign isn’t just about our visitor’s comeback, but our locals getting back into the local shops, and our businesses comeback to success.
