The Roseau County Board has designated the Roseau Times-Region its official newspaper for 2026. The Times-Region publishing bid was four dollars and sixty-five cents per column inch. The Greenbush Tribune offered the other bid and was awarded second publishing for this year. The county is required to designate two publications. In-county circulation of the Times-Region is just under twenty-three hundred subscribers. In-county circulation of the Tribune is six hundred and fifty.
Roseau Community Development Coordinator Todd Peterson told the City Council this month that he expects the 2025 final budget to “finish close to even, or slightly in the black.” The council had projected a one-point-six million dollar deficit last year. Peterson said the city is still expecting about seven hundred thousand dollars in reimbursements for 2025 projects.
