Bagley and Clearwater County Economy Gains Momentum
A national survey shows Clearwater County's economy improving with higher median household cash income rising to 4885 from 4342. Increased spending on cars and appliances accompanied by reduced savings highlights the shift in local finances. A memorial in Bagley honors Rev. Winston Grant, a Minnesota-born Lutheran pastor, for his Tanzania mission work. The bell donated by East African natives hangs from a high tree due to no bell tower funds.
