City Update
On Wednesday February 21, we heard from Janna Viscomi, and John Rowan, both members of city council. Janna gave a quick update on her building, Bernie's Grill and The Vintage Suites, Rotary's former meeting spot, the ball room is undergoing a remodel that will turn the ball room space into 4 more suites. 3 of which are spoken for by Shattuck families for the fall.
Janna and John took turns answering questions and weighing in on comments from Faribault Rotary group on Faribault issues. We covered topics that included parks and trails, straight river waterfront development, an expansion project at our airport, and the new city administrator. John Rowan talked about being diverse in technology, and both council members discussed the future of the city and the excitement around the 2040 comprehensive plan.
We discussed the housing shortage, and John touched on a potential connection of the city of Medford MN to Faribault's sewage treatment facility. Lots of exciting things for them to cover with us. Thank you to Janna and John for spending some time with us, join us again soon.
