Annexation approved, now what?

Wed, 12/23/2020 - 4:00am
11 properties officially part of Humphrey

Since his term of mayor ended with Monday’s Humphrey City Council meeting, Weinder said, “I would guess that the city would start preparing construction documents for bidding within the next year, but that is only my opinion since I cannot speak for their future actions.”
