After a nearly two and a half hour-long debate, the Northfield City Council voted 4 to 3 to reject all contracts for the construction of a new water treatment plant. The council this evening was asked to approve a construction contract for $61 million and the overall project is expected to cost $83 million, up from the city’s original projection in October of $55 million.
Councilors Jessica Peterson White, Kathleen Holmes, and Davin Sokup voted in favor of the project and Mayor Erica Zweifel, and Councilors Chad Beumer, Peter Dahlen, and Brad Ness voted against the project.
