🚧 Big changes are coming to Front & Main Street—and we want to support our amazing local businesses in every way that we can!

The City of Pequot Lakes is excited to host a Marketing During Construction training at City Hall on April 16th at 6:00 PM. We’ve partnered with North Central Small Business Development Center at Central Lakes College to bring you practical tools and creative strategies to help your business stay visible, connected, and thriving during construction season.

We know construction can be challenging—but it can also be an opportunity. Let’s tackle it together! 💪

🎥 Remodel Progress Update!

Things are really starting to come together at City Hall! 🙌 Our Admin Office remodel is in the final stages, and staff are beginning to move back into their spaces on the main level.

This transformation has added a much-needed emergency exit and created a layout that simply makes more sense—making the space safer and more functional for both staff and residents.

We’re incredibly thankful for the grant funding that made this project possible and for our community’s patience while the work has been underway.

We can’t wait for you to see the transformation in person—take a peek at the progress in the video below! 👀🏗️

📣 City Hall Update – Exciting Changes Ahead!

The time has finally come! The administrative office at Pequot Lakes City Hall is getting a much-needed facelift — made possible through creative funding opportunities, including grants and generous donations. 🙌

As we move through this transition, we kindly ask for your patience. City staff have been temporarily relocated within the building, and we’ll be using a doorbell system for in-person assistance.

If possible over the next several weeks, please consider handling your business by phone or email:
📞 218-568-5222
📧 [email protected]

For your convenience, there are two drop boxes for payments:
• Outside the main City Hall door
• Near the mailbox at City Hall

We will do our very best to continue providing the best possible service to our residents during this time. Thank you for your understanding and support!
