County zoning office moves to Hutch

McLeod County is in the process of implementing changes to create a leaner, more efficient operation. As a result of this change, the Office of Planning, Zoning, and Environmental Services will be moving their office location from the McLeod County Courthouse in Glencoe to the McLeod County Solid Waste facility at 1065 Fifth Ave., Hutchinson. This move was expected to be completed by Monday April 30.
The McLeod County Board of Commissioners approved the merger of Planning, Zoning, and Environmental Services and the Solid Waste department at its meeting on April 17, and made the merger effective May 1. The merger of these departments will be known as McLeod County Environmental Services beginning May 1. McLeod County Environmental Services department will be responsible for inquiries related to land use construction, zoning related activity, individual septic system permits, feedlot permits and registration, as well as the current services offered by solid waste and household hazardous waste staff.
The McLeod County Soil and Water Conservation District Office (SWCD) has moved as a result of these changes as well. The SWCD office was sharing space in the McLeod County Courthouse with Planning, Zoning and Environmental Services staff, but has since moved to the North Complex location at 2391 Hennepin Ave., Glencoe. The SWCD office will be conducting business as usual with the added duties of wetland administration and county ditch system oversight at its new location.
These physical office moves have created space for the McLeod County Finance team to move from the North Complex to the McLeod County Courthouse. This move of the finance team creates an opportunity for it to work within the Department of Administration located at 830 11th St., Glencoe, which is the address of the McLeod County Courthouse.
