COUNTY GOVERNMENT: Environmental worksheet found sufficient for new school

BEMIDJI -- Bemidji Area Schools can scratch another step off the list for the new Gene Dillon Elementary School.

At Tuesday's Beltrami County Board of Commissioners meeting, commissioners voted 3-1 that the school district's Environmental Assessment Worksheet was sufficient for the district’s planned new school and a more in depth Environmental Impact Statement was not necessary.

Voting in favor were Commissioners Joe Vene, Richard Anderson and Keith Winger while Tim Sumner was against. Commissioner Jim Lucachick was not present at Tuesday's meeting.
