Highway 23 receives federal money...
U.S. Representative Mark Kennedy (R-Watertown) signed
a $7. million check for Highway 23 in Paynesville
as Mayor Jeff Thompson watched. With this money as well
as $1.9 million received last year, MnDOT has tentatively
scheduled the Highway 23 project around Paynesville
for 2009. The route still needs to be decided,
but the preferred route is expected to be decided this fall.
