Throughout 2023, the Willmar City Council debated the location of the proposed city hall and community center, housing remains a top priority and businesses continue to invest in the city's industrial park.

City of Willmar staff continues to put up hurdles up for Willmar businesses and appear to give unfair advantage to non-local businesses in its city hall-community center development processes. Is it because of staff bias or poor-decision making?

Jason Butler has invested about $1 million purchasing and making improvements on land he owns along Benson Avenue in downtown Willmar, but may not continue to invest in that land due to disagreements with the city.

City Line Towing owner Jason Butler has been trying to get permission from the city of Willmar to use for business purposes city-owned land under the First Street bridge that goes over U.S. Highway 12 and the railroad tracks. He has not been successful.

City Line Towing was seeking a licensing agreement to use land under the First Street bridge in Willmar as a thoroughfare between its Benson Avenue properties on either side of the bridge, but moved forward with building a fence and moving cars onto the land before an agreement was in place.
