The City of Windom is making it easier for residents to stay informed on this year’s major street construction work with the launch of a weekly project newsletter now available online. Street and Park Superintendent, Jon Ketzenberg recently received the first edition of the 2026 Street Improvements Project newsletter, prepared by DGR Engineering. The update outlines ongoing work, upcoming construction timelines, and important reminders for residents impacted by the project. According to the newsletter, the project includes a full reconstruction of portions of 1st Avenue and 17th Street, along with water main replacements, storm sewer additions, and pavement improvements. Crews are expected to begin major construction work in early May, with temporary water lines, traffic control, and pavement removals all part of the initial phase. Residents living in affected areas can expect temporary changes, including limited street access, adjusted garbage collection procedures, and centralized mail delivery during construction. To ensure the community stays up to date, the City is encouraging residents to view the weekly newsletters posted on the Windom City Website at https://windom-mn.com/. From the homepage, users can simply click on “2026 Street Project Updates” to access the latest information, including weekly updates like the April 24 edition. Windom city officials say the goal is to keep communication clear and consistent throughout the duration of the project, helping residents plan ahead and understand what to expect as work progresses.

At the April 21st meeting, the Windom City Council approved key updates to the city’s airport apron project while also taking steps to preserve federal funding. City Administrator Steve Nasby explained that the Federal Aviation Administration required a design change to eliminate direct access from the apron to the runway, citing safety concerns. The revision will reroute traffic to include turns before accessing the runway. Because of this change, the project will move forward as a design-only effort in 2026, with construction now planned for 2027. The council approved the amended engineering contract for the additional design work, which carries a local cost of about $1,500 after state and federal funding. In a second action, the council approved transferring $150,000 in federal airport funds to the Cambridge Municipal Airport. The temporary transfer will prevent Windom from losing the funds due to project delays, with Cambridge expected to repay the amount within two years for use on Windom’s future runway project.
