HRA and Southeast Technical Partnership 

Ground Breaking Celebration

On August 24th the HRA celebrated the ground breaking ceremony for the twin home that will be built at 119 West 5th Street in Red Wing. 

The Red Wing HRA will be partnering with Minnesota State College, Southeast Technical to build single family homes in Red Wing affordable to a 4-member household earning between $42,360 and $56,500.  The HRA will use this as an opportunity to address the need for efficiently built affordable housing.  Southeast Technical is excited about in this venture because it provides a yearly community project that allows their students to learn carpentry and construction skills.

HRA’s Policy on Political Campaigning 

The Red Wing HRA follows the Fair Campaign Practices Act (MN Statute 211B.20) which requires the HRA to allow candidates entry into HRA buildings for campaigning purposes.  Candidates are requested to contact the Red Wing HRA office to arrange a time to be let into the building and, if possible, a note will be posted alerting residents about the visit. Candidates may wish to reserve a community room to have a space in which to speak with interested residents. Assuming the requested time does not conflict with any other scheduled use of the community room, this will be allowed. However, the Red Wing HRA will not provide any refreshments for such a meeting. During the course of the campaign visit, residents are in no way obligated to allow candidates or any campaign workers into their individual units. The Red Wing HRA requires that visits be made during reasonable hours. The Red Wing HRA will not permit the posting of any signs, lawn signs, posters or other campaign material on Red Wing HRA property.
