A $55-an-acre payment – available through a cover crop demonstration grant the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources awarded to the Faribault County Soil and Water Conservation District – offset the risk of trying something new.
A welcoming sign in BE
By Staff | Feb 23, 2015
Welcome to Blue Earth.
Residents and visitors to the city may soon see four signs with that message on them when they drive into town from any direction.
The Blue Earth Economic Development Authority (EDA) voted at their last meeting to proceed with a new sign for the new north industrial park and to purchase four welcome to Blue Earth signs as well.
The four welcome signs would be located on the north and south entrances to town on Highway 169, as well as the two east and west entrances on Highway 16.
The sign at the North Industrial Park would be similar to the one at the West Industrial Park, and would have slots for including the names and logos of the businesses located in the new park. However, the EDA decided to first cover the slots with a removable sign advertising the available lots for sale.
