Community Involvement moving forward
The HGNFS will be hosting its annual pasta dinner
fundraiser and are hoping for a great turnout as

The HGNFS is appreciative of the help the City has
already provided through the dedication of staff time.
The HGNFS would like to request additional support
from the City of Hugo through to waiver of fees related
to our building project.
Community Development Block Grant
Fees requested to be waived:
Building Permit Plan Review
Sur Charge
Driveway
Plumbing Permit
Mechanical Permit
LGU Fees
Site Plan Application Fee
Estimating a $100,000 building valuation this would mean the city
would waive approximately $2,300 worth of fee’s for the HGNFS.
This does not include any SAC or WAC fee, Met Council Fee,
Electrical Permit, or Engineering Review.
Notice of any fees waivered would be sent to Washington County to
show additional community support, and further strengthen the
project moving forward.
