The bill S.F. No. 1562 introduced in the Minnesota Senate assigns the responsibility of managing the Old Williams School property to the state's Commissioner of Natural Resources, instead of Lake of the Woods County. The Commissioner will work with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to maintain and make use of the property. Additionally, the bill requires that by February 1, 2026, a report must be submitted detailing potential options for the cleanup, maintenance, and usage of the site to key legislative groups that focus on environment policy and finance.
