With an eye toward potentially helping Miller Manufacturing’s plans for expansion, the Glencoe City Council is considering a proposal to help the company with tax abatement.
The council voted unanimously to schedule a public hearing for Oct. 21, 7 p.m., on the company’s request for $250,000 in property taxes over 15 years, whichever comes first. Miller Manufacturing is requesting the abatement to help fund soil corrections and site preparation associated with the construction of a 37,200-square-foot warehouse addition.

When she took the job four years ago managing Tri-Valley’s Opportunity Council’s Head Start facility on the Christ Lutheran campus in Glencoe, increasing the public’s awareness of the center and preparing for the construction of a new facility were among the top of Eliza Tobon’s agenda.
Four years later, mission accomplished.

The McLeod County Board of Commissioners gave the OK on the purchase of a tactical armored police vehicle for $244,639 Tuesday morning, Oct. 8.
It will replace what McLeod County Sheriff Scott Rehmann described as an antiquated and unreliable model that can’t be trusted in a crisis situation.
Commissioner Paul Wright spoke to the “unfortunate” situation the county has been put in — that commissioners feel it’s necessary to purchase a nearly quarter-million dollar armored vehicle to keep sheriff’s deputies and city police officers safe.
