Three 2025 projects were advanced at the February 26 Kasson City Council meeting totaling almost $9,000,000. The three projects are a new water tower south of Highway 14, new streetlights for downtown, and street improvements in the southwest quadrant of town north of Highway 14 and south of Second Street.
Improvements are coming to the downtown area. The planned upgrades include 12 benches, 12 planters, and six matching trash cans. The cost for the project is $40,000. The budget only has $6,000 available, so the remaining funds are anticipated to come through donations. $1500 will sponsor a bench with a memorial plate. Those interested in donating a bench or planter can contact the Mantorville City office.
My wife and I went to her cousin’s wedding in Green Bay this past weekend, and the first thing my brother-in-law asked me when he saw me was; how was the state wrestling tournament?
Last Thursday I had the chance to spend the day at the Xcel Energy Center to cover the Kasson-Mantorville wrestling team at the team state tournament.
