 The Brainerd City Council has voted to form a historical water tower citizen committee. The goal of the committee is to come up with a plan to fundraise enough money to save the water tower. Stecco began following from the tower earlier this summer forcing the city to come up with a plan for its future. The first and most expensive option the city has is to rebuild it completely, allowing its place to be kept on the National Historic Registry. The second is to repair and refurbish the tower so it's safe but not held the registry standards. The third option is to just simply take it down. We decided to go and allow the general public to step forward that wants to save it which would include people outside of the city limits. In other words, not just about citizens of Brainerd, but citizens in Crow Wing County and citizens that happen to enjoy coming here to provide some funds. There are still four open spots available on the citizen committee. If anyone is interested in applying to be on the committee they're directed to contact City Hall.
