Public Works Facility Planning
Blue Earth County started researching options for a new Public Works facility in 2019. Blue Earth County is currently in the planning process of purchasing land for a future site. Many parcels have been explored and considered for purchase. Both the previously considered site and the current considered site were on the list of potential site options in 2020. Throughout the process of exploring site options, there has been consideration of:
- Service Area Need
- Stewardship of Taxpayer Dollars
- Access
- Traffic
- Land Use/Zoning
- Environmental Impacts
The public is encouraged to review the information below and provide comments regarding the current considered site in the space below. This page will be updated as information becomes available.
