The Village of Minburn is a municipality located in the County of Minburn with a population of 105 residents. In recent years, the village has encountered challenges with a number of viability issues, including, but not limited to: fluctuations in the village's population, the lack of development and growth in the community, the loss of businesses in the village, pending cuts to grant funding for the operations of the village, ability to attract and retain qualified municipal staff, and the cost of replacing existing infrastructure. These issues, along with a sufficient petition from village electors requesting that Municipal Affairs conduct a dissolution study of the village, prompted the viability review for the Village of Minburn.
