BEMIDJI 鈥� The United Way of the Bemidji area is accepting financial donations for the recently displaced residents of Red Pine Estates, along with coordinating meals.
The 47 residents of the apartment building located at 2590 Ridgeway Ave. NW, many of whom are in their 80s and 90s and have fixed incomes, were informed Friday, June 30, that they would have six days to vacate their homes after the city ordered an evacuation due to structural concerns.
