HIGHWAY 371 PRESENTATION TO PEQUOT LAKES CITY COUNCIL

The Brainerd Lakes Chamber will give a presentation to the Pequot Lakes City Council Monday night and ask the council to favor the Highway 371 expansion along its current alignment rather than a bypass around town. The chamber announced its preference last week after a summer and fall of meetings and surveys. Chamber spokeswoman Ruth Ann Hanson insists the information they will present was not available for earlier council sessions. The council has passed resolutions in favor of both routes and is to make a final decision on December 18th. Taxpayers will vote at the WHA high school, Hackensack City Hall, the Akeley Regional community Center, and the Onibum community Center from noon until 8p on Tuesday.
