Steele County will host an open house Monday evening to present design plans and gather public input on a proposed project to improve both County Highway 28 and Beaver Lake Park northwest of Ellendale.

The meeting will be from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Steele County Board Room, 630 Florence Ave., Owatonna, MN 55060.

Steele County is in the final stages of design for the reconstruction of CSAH 28 and combined park improvements for Beaver Lake Park. The design process will last until winter 2025, with construction starting in spring 2025. There will be an additional opportunity for community engagement to discuss construction impacts.

The county is interested in hearing residents’ experience and response to the proposed roadway and park design layout as well as feedback on the future investment in this area.
