Public Hearing - Improvement Hearing for 2018 Division and Seventh Street Reconstruction and Washington Street Overlay

Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council holds a public hearing on the 2018 Division and Seventh Street Reconstruction and Washington Street Overlay (STRT2018-A37). This hearing is also known as the "Improvement Hearing".

The required 10-day notice for the improvement hearing was published in the Northfield News on October 25 and November 1, 2017, and notices (Attachment 1) were sent to property owners along the project corridor on October 24, 2017.
The actions requested above are required by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429, which specifies the actions that must be taken to assess property owners for the cost of local improvements. The City Council has moved this project forward to this point with the actions shown on the project process (Attachment 2).
The project includes the following streets: (Attachment 3)
