Welcome to Olmsted County, MN

To better prepare for a cyber threat, representatives from both Olmsted County and the City of Rochester, as well as the State of Minnesota, participated in a tabletop exercise on July 23, 2025, led by an official from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). During this exercise, city, county, and state staff discussed a cyberattack scenario that would have a wide impact on government operations.

The Rochester-Olmsted Council of Governments is developing a new plan aimed at making roads in Olmsted County safer for everyone. The comprehensive Safety Action Plan is part of the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All program. 

Olmsted County is seeking public input to help shape the future of its parks through a community survey. The county is currently updating its park master plans and wants to ensure local voices are reflected in the process.
