• County adopts TIP for 2027 (chisagocountypress.com) — A new $3 million roundabout at Hemingway and Lincoln Trail, just south of Highway 95 in North Branch, is slated for 2027 with a mix of federal aid and local sales tax funding, but no direct hit to the property tax levy. The broader county transportation plan also outlines major reconstruction and resurfacing projects, explaining how state aid, wheelage tax, and grants will cover costs. 
• Wildcat invite features dual wins (chisagocountypress.com) — North Branch cross-country runners turned in strong performances at the recent Wildcat Invitational, highlighted by sophomore Caleb Rueter’s runner-up finish in a personal-best time. Both the boys’ and girls’ Viking squads saw multiple personal records, with several underclassmen contributing to solid team placings that show promising depth for the rest of the season.
