St. Joseph

A new brewery is coming to downtown St. Joseph. Bad Habit Brewing Company will be moving into the Mill Stream Shops building at 15 East Minnesota Street.

St. Joseph is taking the next step towards a proposed $6.1 million outdoor aquatic center project. The proposed project includes a lazy river, lap pool, splash pool, zero depth entry pool, climbing wall and a zip line.

The Welcome to St. Joseph sign was removed on Thursday afternoon. In December, a request was sent to the city by property owner Mike Deutz to remove the sign.

St. Joseph has approved financing for a new Central Minnesota Credit Union office building. City administrator Judy Weyrens says the council approved $125,000 in tax financing to help fill a shortage in the project on Monday night.

A meeting was held tonight for members on a committee overseeing plans for a potential aquatic center to be built in St. Joseph in the near future.

We have a better idea today (Tuesday) about what a new St. Joseph water facility may include. The plans include: an open flume slide, an enclosed body slide, and a plunge area. There's also an inner tube slide, a lazy river, and a multi-use pool with two diving boards. The facility would also include a concession stand and a changing room.

St. Joseph is considering not just one, but two, new community facilities. City Administrator Judy Weyrens says the first priority is to build a new community center. Plus, Weyrens says they've hired U.S. Aquatics to come up with some designs for some sort of water feature...

St. Joseph is looking to improve some of its neighborhood streets this year. The city council is prepared to move forward with plans to improve roads in the Clinton Village and Northland Plat neighborhoods.

The Welcome to St. Joseph sign could be removed in the near future.

St. Joseph is hosting its Winterwalk event on Friday night.
