Washington County will host an open house for the public to learn more about and comment on the County Road 74 improvement project from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 8 at Oltman Middle School, 6625 Goodview Ave. S., in Cottage Grove.
The project stretches from County Road 74 (65th Street) from County Highway 38 (Hastings Avenue) to Geneva Avenue S. in Newport, and its aims include boosting the safety and operations of the area and improving storm water drainage and erosion controls. Preliminary design of the project continues until winter of 2025 and construction is expected to begin in summer of 2026, according to the project’s website.
The county also is offering the option to view the open house materials on the project website from Jan. 8 to Jan. 22 for those unable to attend in person.
More information and updates about the project is available on the county’s website: WashingtonCountyMN.gov/County74.
