BLUE EARTH The Blue Earth City Council continued to make decisions on several housing construction projects around the city.
The city’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and APX Construction of Mankato both have projects underway in various locations in the city.
At their first meeting of 2021, held last Monday night, the City Council took action on several of the projects as well as heard an update on all of the construction work from city administrator Mary Kennedy.
The council had a second reading of an ordinance which would sell a large lot at the corner of 14th and Moore streets to APX Construction. Their plan is to build a large multi-family apartment complex on the site.
