Eliminating Old Electronics |
|
Don't try to fit that old TV or microwave into your collection bin. Electronics don't belong in the trash; that's where the upcoming Electronic Waste Collection Event comes in. Load up your electronics, and take them to the Waste Campus on November 5 to participate. Most electronics are free to dispose of, and others are being accepted at a reduced cost. A chance to clear out the garage and help the environment? We call that a win-win situation. Start collecting your old electronics for disposal today. |

E-Waste Collection Event
November 5, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Waste Campus, 1873 Bench St.

New Look, Same Access to Local Meetings |

Give it a watch and try out the new page now. |

The vacant former Associated Bank building at the corner of Bush and Third streets may soon have new life breathed into it. The building owner has accepted an offer from a developer – not the same developer who previously was interested in the building. Initial indications are that the building would be turned into a mixed use of residential and commercial. Plans for the building are far from final, but we can't wait to hear the next steps. Stay tuned for further details when available. |

It's crunching numbers time for the 2023 City budget and levy, and that makes Thursday's Budget Workshop incredibly important. City Council and staff will be reviewing ways to meet the 0% levy goal that was set with the preliminary levy in September. They're not the only ones with a seat at the table, though; we also want to hear your thoughts on next year's finances. Check out the workshop documents ahead of time here. Then attend in-person in Council Chambers or online at 5:30 p.m this Thursday. |

Get on Boards and Commissions |
|
Boards and commissions – and the community members who serve on them – play a vital part in our local government. Their work helps Red Wing grow, innovate, and move forward, and you could be a part of making that happen. Whether your interest lies in finding ways to bring in new business or preserve historic buildings, whether you want to build connections abroad or help people find home here, there's a board or commission that's a perfect fit for you. Several boards and commissions have openings – or will soon – so apply online today. |

Maps don't make themselves, and the ones Leanne Knott makes as GIS Systems Specialist are particularly noteworthy. Leanne's work in GIS (geographic information systems) helps the public and City staff locate the information they need quickly and easily. All her hard work was recently recognized with a prestigious honor – being named the 2022 recipient of the MN GIS/LIS Consortium's Polaris Leadership Award. Leanne's work speaks for itself, so check out some of her maps on our website's GeoHub today. You can also watch Leanne be recognized for this accomplishment at last night's City Council meeting here. Congratulations, Leanne!
