Grand Forks Mayor Calls for More Efficiency, Better Housing in State of the City Address
The Grand Forks (ND) Herald (2/23, 27K) reports, "In his 10th state of the city address, Grand Forks Mayor Mike Brown on Wednesday touted what the city had built in the last 10 years and called for greater efficiency in municipal government, better quality of life and improved housing." The city "will move its Urban Development Department to City Hall downtown from its offices at 1405 First Ave. N. and Brown will ask City Administrator Rick Duquette to restructure other city departments to improve customer service, save money and raise productivity." The Housing Authority "is conducting a survey on the need for all types of housing but Brown said there is a particular need among Air Force base personnel, the elderly and the poor."
