Eveleth Council workshop, EDA dissolution on this week's agenda
The Eveleth City Council held a workshop on Aug. 17 to discuss water main replacements, street mill and overlay work, a potential condemnation, and county tax-forfeited property sales. No formal votes were taken. Separately, the Virginia/Eveleth Economic Development Authority (VEEDA) is scheduled to meet Aug. 20 to consider dissolving the authority. That meeting has not yet occurred.

They also reviewed county tax-forfeited properties scheduled for public auction, with listed minimum bids of $15,600 for 418 Jones Street, $56,100 for 1116 West 2nd Street, and $26,800 for 207 Grant Avenue.
