A construction crew from W&N Construction, Luverne, works on the garage of Rick Scholten’s new home in Steen on Monday. Scholten subdivided a parcel of land on the edge of town into eight residential lots. He is building his house on one lot and the remaining lots are for sale. Scholten gave the city a strip of land for a new street into the area. Water and sewer will be installed for the development this spring. "This is the first time in a long time I can remember that we’ve had a development going on in town," said Steen Mayor Mel VanBatavia. "I think once he gets his house done, when people see it when it gets green, then he’ll get them sold."
