September 2022

Redwood Falls City Council met Tuesday, Sept. 20 and approved to pay the rink tec invoice in the amount of $89,784.08 by using the funds from the capital projects fund. This past winter season, maintaining freon levels on the cooling system in the RACC ice arena has been difficult. A rink tec replaced the chiller seals, numerous valves, and refilled the freon. On June 1, 2021, the city entered into a tax abatement agreement with Redwood Property Holdings to provide financial assistance with the redevelopment of the old hospital into a multi-family housing facility. The abatement agreement included a requirement that construction was to begin by Sept. 1, 2021 and substantially completed by June 1. The city partnered with the developer to submit a Minnesota Housing Workforce Housing Development Grant application in the Fall of 2021. One of the requirements of the grant application was that construction could not begin on the project until a grant award decision was made.
