The future of the Anoka County Regional Rail Authority was questioned at its 2025 organizational meeting Jan. 7.

The authority, which comprises the seven members of the Anoka County Board, was created “to provide for the preservation and improvement of local rail service for agriculture, industry or passenger traffic and provide for the preservation of abandoned rail right of way for future transportation uses...” and in 1988, under state statutes it gave itself the power to levy a property tax.
