Anoka County: City Blocks Sale Of Land To DNR To Save It For Homes

Anoka County: City Blocks Sale Of Land To DNR To Save It For Homes

The owners of the 160-acre parcel planned to sell their land to the DNR and have it acquired into the Carlos Avery Wildlife Management area. But the city of Columbus and then Anoka County voted not to allow the sale to avoid a loss of the potential tax revenue of building homes.
