Start your Tuesday morning (June 28) at 8:30 a.m. by having Coffee with a Cop — and not just any cop — come meet the new St. Cloud Police Chief Douglas Goerke.
This event will be held at Frankie’s Place (1018 New York Ave.). This is an opportunity to talk with and get to know police officers in our community, with no set agenda. Due to construction downtown, Frankie’s Place suggests attendees park behind the restaurant and use the rear entrance.
Then, later in the evening, residential property owners in the St. Cloud Downtown CRA District should make plans to attend the Paint, Plan & Pave Program from 6-7 p.m. This webinar provides an in depth look at the St. Cloud CRA Residential Enhancement Grant, also known as the Plant, Paint, Pave Grant, which provides up to $2,000 in financial assistance for home restoration. Staff will explain qualifications and the application process for this program.
