Tower

Highway 53 isn't the only roadway that will see movement over the next few years on the Iron Range;  Plans are underway to alter the route that Highway 1/169 takes between Tower and Ely to create a safer route for motorists.

The AT&T communications tower is not being used anymore and the company would like to remove it. This requires some changes in traffic in downtown Duluth. I know many people who use the YMCA will want to know the traffic and sidewalk patterns to be used during this whole process.

The Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota is planning a full scale push for funding for the newly-established Lake Vermilion State Park during the 2014 session.

Learn more about the Lake Vermilion State Park during a public meeting - Wednesday, November 6 - 5 to 7PM - at the Tower-Soudan Elementary School, 415 N Second Street in  Tower.

Work has begun on a road construction project on Highway 169 between Virginia and Tower that will cause delays due to a detour.
