Minnesota DNR talks next steps in transfer of Upper Sioux Agency State Park

Transferring Upper Sioux Agency State Park lands to the Upper Sioux Community tribe is going to be a complex task, representatives of the Minnesota DNR said June 29. One of the many steps in the process will be to find other places with potential for outdoor recreation in the Minnesota River Valley.
“The state Legislature has moved forward with the process to transfer the park, and we’re going to talk about some of that legislation and what that means,” said Scott Roemhildt, DNR southern region director.

Public meeting in Granite Falls debates land transfer of Upper Sioux Agency State Park to band

Citizens  crammed into a cafeteria in Granite Falls Wednesday night, April 5, in order to learn more about a proposal to transfer ownership of the Upper Sioux Agency State Park lands to the Upper Sioux Community. While a panel of speakers took questions and comments for more than two hours, they said many details about the proposed transfer remain to be worked out.
Members of the public at the meeting spoke out both in support of the land transfer, and questioning it. Some audience members also criticized what they said was a lack of communication about the land transfer proposal.
