With a proven track record, ICA has been recognized as providing DHS with unmatched facilities that adhere to the highest standards of medical care, safety and recreation.

The City of New Richmond is committed to a transparent process and will be providing information related to this request in a timely manner. Prior to a formal public hearing, the City will request a community conversation, which is tentatively scheduled for April 25 at 5:00 pm.
