I believe the Minnesota Valley Rail line is a vital part of this infrastructure. With support by the county and continued improvements, this will be an important asset for our area.

Further study is needed of water quality for the area watershed. This would be a good joint effort for Gaylord and Sibley County.

Another consideration for Sibley County is the planning and control for renewable energy. As interest increases for new energy sources, we need to have a comprehensive plan in place to allow our residents to benefit from this technology. Wind energy and how it would affect our county needs further evaluation to assure proper utilization.
