On April 2nd, the Owatonna City Hall is set to open its doors to the public for a hearing that will shape the town's infrastructure. The agenda circles around the pressing street and utility projects estimated at a hefty $1 million, with an important piece of the financial puzzle being the proposed special assessments tallying up to $116,365.

The City Council, during the meeting, will engage in a pivotal discussion regarding the division of this financial load. Residents are encouraged to attend, to address their queries and concerns directly to the City's decision-makers. The outcomes of this civic engagement will not only influence the community's monetary commitments but also determine the course of public works across School Street East, Buturnut Avenue, and Riverview Place.

With the potential to affect every corner of Owatonna's daily life, the City Council's transparent approach in this public hearing marks a significant move towards inclusive urban planning.
