Work began this week on a new synthetic rubber roof for Brainerd's downtown water tower to prevent further water intrusion.

Buster Park was a dog park created between Boom Lake and the Mississippi River near Kiwanis Park. The off-leash, fenced-in park includes playground equipment for dogs and is divided into two areas by dog personalities. The park was named after Buster, a Boston terrier.

The proposed budget presented an increase of $915,500 above last year, representing an 11.8% increase for 2023 for a possible tax levy of $8,654,500.

The new roof is meant to stop further water intrusion in the tower's bowl.

Bass action remains excellent throughout the state, and many anglers continue to take nice numbers of walleye....

Proceeds from the calendars will benefit restoration efforts on the historic Brainerd water tower.

The summary of the 2023 city budget was presented before the Baxter city council meeting on July 5.

Brainerd received $765,000 as part of the Main Street Revitalization program from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

The calendars are expected to include photos of old Brainerd buildings that are no longer standing.
