Over 70 people attended the public meeting in the village of 1200, even with short notice. The purpose of the public meeting in Glenwood City last night, as explained by Mayor John Larson, was “to hear Scott’s (Teigen) presentation” to the city council proposing that his land be annexed in order to begin frac sand mining on his property.  Currently, a mining application for the “Vista Mine” which would allow mining on Teigen’s property is under review by St. Croix County.  Teigen called the proposed annexation by the city, which would circumvent county review, his “Plan B” to move forward with the mine.
