Mayor Ann Diercks announced that plans for an interchange at 10th Avenue are now in place. “We had the opportunity to speak with Mark Schoenfelder who is the MN DOT’s District Planner. It was an awesome opportunity to talk about the 10th Avenue interchange project. It’s on the books that the County Road 104 interchange will go in before the Byron 10th Avenue project. The interchange construction start date is a minimum of 20 years away,” said Diercks.

Senior housing and assisted living facilities for Byron continue to be researched. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Olmsted County had proposed a loan to the city of Byron, providing it be backed by bonds. “We had to look at what role do we want to play in this and how far do we want to go with senior housing. While we would love to help somebody get it going, we as a town do not want to own and operate it,” said Byron City Administrator Mary Blair-Hoeft. “We haven’t given up on this either. We talk about how there is a need here. We have to go out and do more studies to show proof and just what level the need is for this area,” added Blair-Hoeft. The councils plan is for a study that can provide the current numbers and will be updated annually to keep accurate results for future statistics, rather than funding new studies yearly.

Everything is on track for a new frisbee golf course at Klingvall Park in Byron. The nine-hole course is scheduled to be in place for the spring of 2013 for the park located behind the Byron Fire Hall. The new equipment needed to construct the park was recently delivered.

On November 6, elections will take place at Byron City Hall from the hours of 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. The city hall is located at 680 Byron Main Court N.E.

The next Byron city council meeting is slated for Wednesday, November 14 at 6:00 pm and will be held at Byron City Hall.
