At the June 3 county board meeting, Wadena commissioners voted to accept a quote from Herzog Roofing of Detroit Lakes to replace the failing roof on the Human Services building, located at 124 1st St. SE in Wadena. The roof will be a fully adhered system, and includes new metal flashing. The cost will be $69,980, and the work will be completed by Labor Day, if all goes well.
Commissioners also agreed to have the Highway Department repair the parking lots at all the county buildings where there are holes or deteriorated surfaces.

Information on the properties will be available at the courthouse in a few weeks, at the office of the Auditor/Treasurer.
