West Babbitt Project

The new West Babbitt Development is located on the west side of town, behind the old Softball Complex. This development, once completed, will offer the town a great opportunity for expansion to include townhomes, residential homes, and an apartment complex.

Babbitt Marina

The Babbitt Marina is a future project idea that is proposed for the west side of Birch Lake. This project would offer a dock system and parking area for the public to load/unload their boats and pontoons, and allow for easy access to the local lake and beaches. 

This project is still in the early planning/conceptual stages.

Wastewater Treatment Plant

In September of 2021, the Public Utilities Commission  started a large project for a new Wastewater Treatment Facility to improve mercury removal in the city's wastewater. This massive project will keep the PUC up-to-date with state requirements. This project is expected to be completed in August of 2023.

Contact the Public Utilities Commission for more information.
