The McLeod County Board of Commissioners reviewed plans for the extension of Morningside in Glencoe at its Tuesday, Aug. 8, meeting.
The proposed project will extend Morningside from east of Coborn’s north to 16th Street just east of Glencoe-Silver Lake Schools.
The state awarded the project a $2.35 million Local Road Improvement Project (LRIP) grant. That leaves about $2.61 million to be paid by the city of Glencoe, McLeod County and possible rail funding.

During the Glencoe-Silver Lake (GSL) School Board meeting Monday night, the board members heard numerous updates, including a new plan presented by GSL High School Principal Paul Sparby called the Panther Power Hour, which will take place during the lunch hours at the high school.
The objective of the program, according to Sparby, is to provide students with options for academic support during lunch.
The idea of a “high school recess” of sorts has been very popular in recent years and Sparby has spoken to different schools that have implemented their own type of lunch program.
