BRAINERD — Crow Wing County is offering a land use informational workshop regarding land use permit regulations, requirements, grant opportunities, proposed ordinance revisions, geographic information system map training and more.

The workshop is for residents of Crow Wing County and contractors working around lakes in the county, but all are welcome to attend. The workshop will take place from 9 a.m. to noon March 30 at the Crow Wing County Land Services Building at 322 Laurel St. in Brainerd.

“This workshop is an opportunity to learn and understand rules and regulations for developing and improving property within Crow Wing County,” stated Jake Frie, environmental services supervisor, in a news release.

The county’s land use ordinance is designed to achieve measurable results in keeping lakes healthy. Site-specific performance standards such as stormwater management, vegetated buffers and septic system maintenance are part of the county ordinance requirements.

Registration for the workshop is encouraged and preferred but is not required. To register, visit www.crowwing.us/landservices and click on the registration link or stop by the Land Services Building.

For more information about the informational workshop, call 218-824-1010.

By Dispatch staff report

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn't do it without support.
