The Cottonwood-Middle Minnesota One Watershed, One Plan began in March 2023 with grant administration/coordination and fiscal management provided by RCRCA.
The plan boundary includes parts of the counties of Blue Earth, Brown, Cottonwood, Lincoln, Murray and Redwood. These counties, along with their respective SWCDS, Area II Minnesota River Basin Projects, RCRCA and the City of Springfield comprise the 13 members of the Memorandum of Agreement for planning. Blue Earth County supports this effort and has opted out the planning due to the small percentage of their county within this watershed boundary.

Consultant services are currently being sought to draft the Plan document and to guide the partners through the process to prioritize subwatersheds and target best management practices and activities that will result in measurable outcomes.
Public input will be gathered and Kickoff Meetings will be held within the watershed to provide for information and gather that input. Interested parties wishing to be part of an Advisory Committee will also be sought.
Watch our website for developments including the hiring a Plan consultant, finalized list of Policy Committee members, agendas, meeting minutes and more.
