Forest Lake newspaper will now be based in Stillwater
The Forest Lake Times is moving to Stillwater. The weekly newspaper, published by Adams Publishing Group, has decided to consolidate the Forest Lake office with the office of the Stillwater Gazette, also published by Adams. 'This move is an effort to save costs by merging two offices located so closely together in Washington County,' according to an article published in the Gazette. There has been a newsroom in Forest Lake since 1903, when the city's first newspaper, The Enterprise, began publication, said Cliff Buchan, former editor of The Times. It was changed in 1907 to The Forest Lake Advertiser and became The Forest Lake Times in 1916, he said. Forest Lake Mayor Blake Roberts called the decision to close the Forest Lake office 'extremely disappointing.' 'The Times has been an institution in Forest Lake for well over 100 years,' he said. 'I realize that small local newspapers are really struggling, so I understand why this decision was made. My hope is that this move will allow the parent company of the Times to report on Forest Lake news and events well into the future.' A spokesman for Adams Publishing Group did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Woodbury duplex destroyed in fire A Scandia pastor overcame addiction.
