Following this spring’s tornadoes, we are working to rebuild our community and imagine what we will look like in the future. To start this work, we want to hear from you, our community members. Your insights and ideas will help us shape the vision for Minden, which will then be supported by specific goals and, eventually, projects and policies. We’ll also be working to identify how to pay for these projects and building relationships with the partners needed to do just that along the way.

Any questions? Email or call Bethany Wilcoxon at bwilcoxon@mcclurevision.com or 712-249-9788.
