It is common in the lakes area for individuals to move here after retiring, then look to serve by joining a city council or various city committees.
For newly elected Breezy Point Mayor Todd Roggenkamp, the city’s issues have been front-and-center since childhood.
“I was born and raised on the south end of Big Pelican Lake,” Roggenkamp said. “My formative years were all here in this area. I grew up here and watched this place grow. I ve watched it go from what it used to be to what it is now - with trepidation, at times.”
In 2019, the Long Lake Conservation Center contributed an estimated $1.1 million in economic activity to Aitkin County’s economy. Learn more findings from Extension's study.
