The City of Carver was awarded $977,000 from the Department of Employment and Economic Development for construction a new City street to be named Commerce Drive.

Election Letter: Fred Berg

I am writing to honor a wonderful citizen, a dedicated volunteer and an outstanding educator – Fred Berg, or “Mr. Berg” as hundreds (likely even thousands) addressed him while they were students of his during his years of teaching in the Eastern Carver County School District. At least that’s how our children talked about him – with a “bit” of awe and deep respect because of how well he related to his students and shared his knowledge with them! Also holds true for those students who were fortunate enough to have participated in a sport that he helped coach. During many dinner table conversations, Mr. Berg’s name came up for something he did or said that “hit home!”

Fortunately for those of us who live in the Eastern Carver County School District, we still have Fred Berg – “Mr. Berg” – working diligently on behalf of our students. Now as a valued member of the School Board. His years of teaching, his understanding of what needs to be done to keep our schools strong and successful and his willingness to continue sharing his experiences are valuable assets to our communities. We have the opportunity to ensure that “Mr. Berg” will remain a member of the School Board and continue helping support the educational system as our students progress through their years in our schools.

Let me encourage you to help see that Fred Berg remains on the School Board; your vote for him on November 6th will be appreciated.
