Elbow Lake says no to utility improvements
excerpted from Fergus Falls Daily Journal, Jan. 24, 2008
The city of Elbow Lake will not move forward with a proposed underground utility and street improvement project following a public hearing at the city's community center Wednesday evening. The project, slated for Elbow Lake's west side, would have included an estimated $2.1 million in improvements to the city's sanitary sewer, watermain, streets and sidewalks.
