A public information meeting sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Transportation has been scheduled for week, Thursday March 30. The meeting will provide information on the start of construction in April for the Highway 57 project and the Highway 57 and 16th Street roundabout project, both in Kasson.
The open house style meeting is from 4-6 p.m. at Kasson City Hall, 401 5th Street SE. There is not a formal presentation.
