TOWNSHIP
Working together for a
Better Future
A NOTE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN:
Happy Fall everyone,
I hope everyone had a safe and successful deer hunt, and a great Thanksgiving shared with loved ones.
The temps have been dropping and winter is fast approaching. Your Township crew has been busy working to get everything ready for the winter season and snow plowing.
We have a couple of projects to get finished before the snow flies. We will also be spending the winter months discussing upcoming projects and preparing for those to start next Spring.
Again, if you encounter our equipment and work team, please give them additional room and a friendly wave as they are working to make things better for all of us.
Stay warm and safe and as always, if you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
HAPPY FALL!
Mark Stovern

About Shafer township
Shafer Township is located in southeast Chisago County, bordered to the east by the city of Taylors Falls and the St. Croix River, which is the Minnesota–Wisconsin border. The city of Shafer is in the southwest part of the township but an administratively separate entity. The unincorporated community of Palmdale is in the north.
U.S. Highway 8 follows most of the southern boundary of the township, turning northeast to travel to Taylors Falls, then across the river to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and leading west to Lindstrom and Chisago City. State Highway 95 (MN 95) crosses the north part of the township, passing through Palmdale and leading southeast to Taylors Falls and northwest to North Branch.
