Northland Public Finance: Maple River School Bond Success March 29, 2022 Design Develop Construct Journal’s Winter 2021 issue featured the recent success of a school bond referendum for the Mapleton, MN – Maple River School District. Currently, the students in the district are housed in three different, aging facilities from the 1930s. The $63.3 million school will bring those students together in a more efficient and effective learning environment, with larger gym space, STEM labs, modern classrooms, and specialized facilities to enhance learning. The school should be ready for the students in Fall 2022. Northland worked diligently with the school staff to get this bond in place for the future of the community: “The challenges that Maple River’s new K-12 school development was facing were difficult to overcome, but with persistent community work on the referendum and providing better information to the voters, we were able to get the bond passed by a thin margin after several previous attempts failed. Northland is grateful to be part of the team that got it done for that community’s future generations.” — Greg Baufield, Managing Director, Northland Public Finance For more information: DDC Magazine, Winter 2021 Issue.
