The Martin County West School Board met last week. They heard two presentations as a beginning to the evening. An operations manager from Federated Rural Electric Coop told the board about some plans for a new substation north of Casey’s in Sherburn. They would like to replace the old substation downtown in Sherburn and bring the town up to the amount of energy the rest of the REA members can use possibly in 2022. The old line is near that property and the new line would be connected mostly underground and far enough from the school. They would also landscape the area. More information will be given as the plan progresses. The second presentation was from class officers of the MCW class of 2021 who told the board of their plans for their senior class trip to South Dakota. They will go May 16-22 this year. An itinerary was passed out and the class thanked the board for their help.
