There is money on the table for Crosby
State agencies, federal programs, and regional foundations exist to fund exactly the towns of the Cuyuna Range — and much of that money goes unclaimed, for lack of time rather than eligibility. One Crosby neighbor has mapped all of it, and is offering the city the first applications free, before this year's levy is set.

Three pieces of finished work, free, on dates that matter this September — and a way to pay for more of it that never touches the general fund.

About the Compass →What this is — and what it isn't
The Cuyuna Compass is one neighbor's public notebook. It gathers the public business of the Cuyuna-range towns — budgets, grant programs, deadlines — from state databases and hundred-page council packets into something anyone can read over coffee. Every figure links to the public record it came from, so you never have to take my word for anything.
It is not a newspaper — the Range already has a good one — and it is not the city speaking. It's published by Jimmy Davidson, a Crosby resident who builds efficiency systems for a living and would like his town to claim the money that's already set aside for places like it. If anything here is wrong, write to jimmy@agenticpersonnel.com and it will be fixed, and the fix noted.
