Retail Outlook: Target lifted its annual sales forecast again after a strong quarter, citing price cuts, better in-stock levels, and a jump in digital sales and traffic.

Housing Market: Home inventory in Minnesota hit a seven-year high, giving buyers more options as listings continue to come in. Public Safety Tech Backlash: In St. Cloud and Sartell, automated license plate readers have been vandalized or stolen, fueling renewed debate over surveillance cameras. Mining & Permitting: The United Steelworkers criticized Gov. Walz’s executive order pausing environmental review and permitting for non-ferrous mining in northeastern Minnesota. Local Governance: Duluth’s City Council will consider adopting a land-use study for the former Lester Park Golf Course, with a plan to develop only part of the site. Agriculture & Food Costs: Pro Farmer Crop Tour results point to corn yields in Iowa and Minnesota coming in below last year, with wheat supply concerns tied to Black Sea logistics.
