County Wondering About Peat Project

Koochiching County's board of commissioners are growing restless with a peat project in their area.

The County signed a 21-year lease agreement with Berger Horticultural out of Quebec, it says promised jobs and revenue.

Commissioner Rob Eklund says they've now learned the company won't be spending money on the project this year.

The Koochiching Development Authority wants to find out if the company has violated its agreement.
