The Editor: Our community would benefit from a visioning process – like we did for the new library – to gather public input on redevelopment of Blaine civic center, which includes the library, police station, skate park and old city hall site. Since these public holdings in the heart of downtown are contiguous, it’s possible to develop a master plan for the entire site.
A new library, art center, affordable apartments and a parking garage are some of the ideas. Others may emerge as we hold a public discussion about Blaine’s future. If we want that future to happen for us rather than to us, we need to talk.

We’ve been waiting over a year for the city of Blaine to complete an electrical inspection of a project in our home.
After reading the recent article on the massive building expansion for the city of Blaine, I would like to know how this unacceptable delay of services will get any better.
According to the city, there is just one building inspector to issue this category of permits.
Even if the budget to hire extra staff is achieved, the difficulty in finding service and technical staff for our community in the current housing and labor market is daunting.
