KASSON, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Transportation invites the community to attend a public information meeting on March 30 to learn about the start of the construction in April in Kasson for the Highway 57 reconstruction project and the Highway 57 and 16th Street roundabout project.

The open house style meeting is from 4-6 p.m., Thursday, March 30 at Kasson City Hall, 401 5th Street SE. There is not a formal presentation.
