In 2020, St. Louis County completed a significant investment to serve residents in the Virginia area, replacing the deteriorating Northland Office Building with the new Government Services Center-Virginia. Due to the pandemic, the County never held a ribbon cutting to celebrate this $20+ million facility. 

St Louis County leaders took time during Tuesday's County Board meeting to celebrate the good work accomplished through the successful investment of the $54.5 million the county received in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. County Administrator Kevin Gray gave a presentation to the Board thanking them for their leadership in establishing a priority framework and for identifying needs in their districts that could be served with these funds.

The St. Louis County Board has given preliminary approval to distribute $709,992 of state funds for eight projects that focus on preventing the introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) or limiting their spread in lakes and rivers in St. Louis County. Commissioners unanimously approved the list of projects during their Committee of the Whole meeting Tuesday in Duluth.

On February 6th, 2025 at 06:50 hours, the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office and several Fire Departments were dispatched to a house fire in the 3500 Block of Highway 119 in Leiding Township. The caller reported the house on fire and unable to locate her husband.
