Watch for some activity along the U.S. side of the Rainy River this summer.
A new headquarters for Voyageur's National Park, an amphitheatre and a new U.S. Border Patrol Facility are expected to take shape this summer.
International Falls Mayor Shawn Mason says that's good news for her community.
"It's been a long time since we have seen groundbreakings happening in our community and some progress," says Mason. "I'm very thrilled with the support of a lot of great people we were able to begin our waterfront projects."
Mason reflected on 2009 and the year ahead at Falls city council meeting this past week.
