News Summary:

Centerville Lake began receiving an alum treatment on May 1, aimed at controlling internal nutrient loading of phosphorus, which serves as a food source for algae. The aluminum sulfate product binds with phosphorus, effectively cutting off the algae's supply. Previously, on April 23, bids for the Minnesota 65 construction project came in lower than initial estimates, with McCrossan's bid nearly a million dollars below the next highest, benefiting Minnesota taxpayers. This followed MetroNorth's annual event on March 31, where it honored area companies, with Northeast Bank receiving the Community Champion award for its exceptional contributions. The event saw nearly 500 nominations across 10 categories. In late February, The Estee Lauder Companies announced plans to eliminate 68 jobs at their Aveda campus in Blaine, with layoffs commencing on April 24. These reductions affect staff in the warehouse and distribution center at the 58-acre site, a significant manufacturing and research hub producing approximately 80% of Aveda’s total products. Earlier in February, Lino Lakes outlined plans for street upgrades, including mill and overlay projects on sections such as Lonesome Pine Trail, Weir Road, Fourth Avenue, Heather Court, and Lea Court.
