Chippewa County Park Plans Halted by Land Dispute with Dennis Gibson
What happened
Plans to develop a park in Chippewa County are currently on hold due to a dispute with a landowner near the Minnesota River. Dennis Gibson and Keith Poier intend to sell property near the river to Chippewa County for park use. This dispute jeopardizes a $170,000 grant the county was awarded for the park’s creation.

Why it matters
