Northfield MN - Last Tuesday evening, the Northfield City Council met in a closed session with the City’s attorney regarding the pending litigation between Waterford Township and the City related to a 1980 Annexation Agreement.

Once again, the Northfield Fine Arts Boosters is having a “Best Seats in the House” auction for Rock and Roll Revival tickets.

Northfield-The City of Northfield is excited to announce the launch of Polco, an innovative engagement platform where residents can directly provide input to the local government decision-making process.  By using Polco, the City is making public participation easier for residents by meeting them where they are.  Officials will post questions directly to residents on Polco’s app and website, where residents answer and comment on questions.

The City of Northfield will soon be asking residents to rate aspects of the community.  Specifically, the City wants to know what residents think about Northfield as a place to live, raise children, work, play, retire and visit. 

According to City Administrator Ben Martig, “Polco is endorsed by the City’s strategic plan consultant Craig Rapp, and has a reputation for providing significant data on important community issues.”

Northfield Reads invites people to join in a month of conversations with local people of the global majority and with one of the essayists from the book A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota.  The public is welcome to attend any or all of these discussions.  Reading the book will provide background for the conversations, but is not necessary to enjoy and learn from them.

Conversations:  Thanks to several local organizations, Northfield Reads will be hosting conversations with some of the immigrant groups in the community.
