Friends of Orono brings citizens together from Orono Minnesota and sister cities around Lake Minnetonka and beyond for key issues regarding land use, policy, procedure and leadership in local government.
We were brought together when land was donated to special interests without properly informing the public. Several Orono land deals are in process and in review by authorities due to criminal complaints and both civil and federal lawsuits against the City of Orono and several city officials. For more information regarding civil lawsuit information, please see mncourts.gov/Access-Case-Records/MCRO.aspx and enter City of Orono in the business search bar. For federal lawsuit information please a recent Star Tribune article posted on our Friends of Orono website.
