A grinder on Minnesota Street and First Avenue NW chews up pavement and spits it into the back of a belly dump, prepared to haul it away. The project is being completed by the Stearns County Highway department, as Minnesota Street itself is owned by the county. The grinding up and overlaying of new pavement took three days. As of press time on Wednesday, only the striping, or painting on of markers, remained to be done.
