The City of Rockford sponsored the annual Manufacturer’s Breakfast on October 24, 2013.   The event was hosted by Minnesota Diversified Products in the Millennium Park.  Mayor Hafften proclaimed the week of October 21st Manufacturer’s Week. The event included breakfast provided by the city, and certificates of recognition signed by Governor  Mark Dayton and a tour of the facility.  We want to thank all of the manufacturer’s in Rockford as they are good neighbors and provide many jobs within our community.

The City has scheduled improvements at the intersection of Elm Street (CR 33) and Ash Street. The project will begin on Monday, October 28th and require the closure of both Elm and Ash for five days.

Also, the water may be shutdown to homes in the area on Tuesday, October 29th.
