I’ve been getting reports that last night’s Itasca County Board Meeting enjoyed its share of fireworks. This story from the Grand Rapids Herald-Review details some of the concern over the county’s relationship with Essar Steel, the company that announced plans to build an iron mining and steel operation in Nashwauk. Ultimately, Essar got what it wanted in the list of terms, but the actual vote was tabled until next month.
I also heard that issues relating to the flooding Canisteo Pit near Bovey were raised, including the long delayed flood mitigation plans. I am still following this.
The Hibbing Daily Tribune may have more on Thursday. They were also covering the meeting.
