The City of Argyle continues to strive in this recession. Last summer an addition to the Argyle Depot Museum, sponsored by donations to the Argyle Historical Society, was constructed. There will be a kitchen, bathroom, and more display areas. The S/A Central Elementary School playground has a new larger set with a soft rubber safety floor system in place which is being enjoyed by our youngsters. This summer the playground will add a soccer setup. The school has a web site, www.sac.k12.mn.us which provides updates about school and extra curricular activities. Our high-speed wireless internet will add a new fiber optic system to improve cable television reception with more channels. For any information, the city has a web site: www.ci.argyle.mn.us. We are in the planning stages of a major improvement project for our water and sewer systems. This will provide better service for our residents and eliminate the overtaxing of our waste water system with a clean water infiltration. Part of the project will be funded with a grant from USDA Rural Development. Construction will begin in early summer. On behalf of the City of Argyle, I would like to invite everyone to visit our community and attend our annual "Meet Your Neighbor Day" festivities held on the weekend of June 26, 2010.
Sincerely,
************************************************************************************************ COMMENTS FROM...THE ARGYLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPER 2009 was a very good year in Argyle. The Meet Your Neighbor Day celebration was a great success again. The Roosters street dance was one of the highlights of the event. The Roosters will return to Argyle on Saturday, June 26th for the 2010 MYND event. Watch the Messenger for more information about the annual Meet Your Neighbor Day celebration. The Argyle Community Club does a wonderful job organizing this event. The club is open to anyone interested in helping keep Argyle an interesting place to live. Awards, championships, events, and human interest stories are shown throughout this paper to help recapture the year 2009. I do try to get most of the Argyle highlights, but if I missed anything, I apologize. Once again, our housing industry is doing well with homes being purchased, and one new home built. Our business community is also doing well. The cover of this year's newspaper shows Argyle's community commitment during the Christmas season. A huge thank you to all who were involved with the decorating and lighting our town with cheer! There were actually 25 trees, plus the gazebo, decorated for the season. Sorry that not all were pictured. Lowell (Amos) Engen was hired by the City of Argyle upon the resignation of Kelly Durand. Kelly worked for the City of Argyle for 15 years. Thanks for all the years, Kelly! I would urge any Argyle resident receiving heating assistance to contact Tri-Valley in Crookston and inquire about weatherization opportunities. According to recent news articles, there are funds available for home weatherization improvements. Sincerely,
Colleen Radeke
