Governor
Tim Walz is recognizing Stearns Bank in Albany for their new stormwater management system.

City Notes: Improvements on the way for Taylor Farm and other New Albany parks
This 100-acre park, which will be on East Dublin-Granville Road between the Target store in Hamilton Quarter and Harlem Road, is a win for the community in many different ways.
First, completion of the first phase of Taylor Farm Park this year ensures even more parkland near the town center for New Albany and surrounding residents.
This park will take advantage of the area’s natural beauty, with approximately 3 miles of leisure trails allowing people to enjoy the area’s woods, wetlands, prairies and natural stream corridors.
