The senior care provider will continue to operate its long-term care facility in Willmar despite the city rejecting a land sale for construction of adjacent senior housing.
The Willmar City Council on Monday heeded the concerns of its constituents, approving in a split 7-1 vote a motion to cancel the sale of parkland in the south Swansson Field Recreation Complex.
All of the 13 Willmar residents who spoke during the Willmar City Council public hearing April 15 agreed that their number one concern about the potential sale of 5.54 acres of parkland is the city's future water supply.
