Ah-Gwah-Ching Purchase Set For June 3rd

Cass County Board Members decided on Tuesday to set the Ah-Gwah-Ching site purchase date for Tuesday, June 3rd and begin demolition work soon after. Just over 30 acres of the site is to be used for a critical access hospital and health care campus. This year's Minnesota bonding bill included money for utility connections to the city of Walker as well as money for demolition. The state of Minnesota will keep nearly 56 acres of the site for later sale to a private party. The southern portion of the property will go to the Minnesota DNR.
