Frontpage News - Carrington, ND

Chieftain Conference Center, Carrington ND

Good morning, Everyone! It's rather overcast this morning in Carrington. In fact, there were a few snowflakes falling while I had coffee at the Chieftain this morning.

Our high today is predicted to be a cold 33 degrees, but thankfully our winds are blowing gently at around 5mph.

I picked up a copy of the Foster County Independent (which comes out once a week) and read the following frontpage news:

1) A new meat-processing plant is being built by Tom Solwey in Carrington;

2) A mask mandate is being enforced at Carrington High School for staff and students;

3) There is a big spike in COVID-19 cases in Foster County... active cases 34, 111 total;

4) City Hall and the Armory are closed to the public due to increase in COVID-19 cases

5) The City Council agreed to pay $125,000 of our tax money toward demolishing the downtown, falling-apart elevator owned by Donnie Theis;

6) Headlocks and the Garden Gate are each being granted $25,000 to improve their buildings on Main Street.

Wherever you live, I hope your news is good news! Thanks for dropping by! #carringtonndnews #carringtonnd
