INCORPORATION GRANTED

Today, more than two decades of hard work, determination, study and public participation has resulted in the imminent creation of Minnesota’s newest City, the City of Baldwin.  The Baldwin Township Board is pleased to announce that the Minnesota Office of Administrative Hearings issued a decision this morning authorizing Baldwin Township to incorporate as the City of Baldwin.  The 20+ years of carefully creating the policies, ordinances and governmental structure necessary to bring forth the City of Baldwin have come to fruition with the issuance of Judge Jessica Palmer-Denig’s order incorporating Baldwin Township.

 

The Township would like to thank the residents of Baldwin Township for providing the Town Board the resources, support, commitment and faith necessary to pursue incorporation, without which this day would never have been possible.  The Township would also like to thank Judge Jessica Palmer-Denig for a well-reasoned and well-resourced decision, and for so skillfully presiding over an emotional and energetic public hearing at which approximately 700 Township residents were in attendance to voice their concerns for the future of their community. 

 

The Baldwin Town Board looks forward to the residents of Baldwin Township governing themselves as the City of Baldwin in the same tradition of self-reliance, public participation and responsive local government that has been the hallmark of Baldwin Township for so many decades. 

 

Please see “Incorporation Information” tab below for additional information.

Letter from Baldwin Township Resident

Please extend my thanks and gratitude to the fire department crew that came to my house Sunday morning (7/14). I didn’t have an opportunity that day to thank them for coming to my home to address the smoke and fire in my garage. I appreciate the work they do and I absolutely felt relieved to have them at my house. I’m a relatively new widow and was rather overwhelmed by the situation, their professionalism was a comfort to me. Thanks ever so much, Janice

 

At the July 1st, 2024, Town Board meeting The Board approved the purchase of a new Pierce Enforcer Pumper truck. The delivery is approximately 4 years from order and the expenditure will be $1,116,975.00. The Town Board felt this to be the right time as four years from now our aging pump trucks will be reaching their life expectancy of 25 years. The Board would also like to thank the Fire Department's apparatus committee for their hard work and research into the most economical solution for the community.
