Finance and Commerce-11/13/15
Surly Destination Brewery and St. Paul’s CHS Field were among the top award recipients last week at the Minnesota Brownfields Fourth Annual ReScape Awards, recognizing projects around the state that have revitalized formerly contaminated land, or brownfields. The program honored winners in four categories: community impact, economic impact, environmental impact and small city impact.

Commissioner Sieben was among the speakers at the event.
Crookston Seeks DEED Rehab Funding
Grand Forks Herald-11/9/15

The rental rehabilitation projects would improve existing units located above downtown businesses and also could help alleviate part of a housing shortage the city is facing. "We've had some apartments that have been offline for maybe a couple of decades, and bringing those back is really important," City Administrator Shannon Stassen said.
