The Brainerd Lakes Area Economic Development Corp. annual meeting normally includes a full meeting space and noon lunch at Arrowwood Lodge at Brainerd Lakes in Baxter. This year, however, the session was virtual via Zoom with nearly 100 participants and shifted to early morning Tuesday, March 9. The move to morning may be one the organization keeps post pandemic.

It’s no surprise 2020 has been a year of ups and downs in terms of funding for the Northland Arboretum.
Right now, the conservation nonprofit in Brainerd and Baxter looks to be operating at a deficit of about $54,000 for fiscal year 2020-21, but Executive Director Candice Zimmermann hopes things can get back on track.
Increases in membership, gift shop purchases and donations, along with potential grants, could bring the Arboretum out of the hole, Zimmermann told the Brainerd City Council Monday, Dec. 7.
