Carver County Local News Joins Additional Social Media Platforms


The volunteers at Carver County Local News continue to expand opportunities for engagement with readers throughout Chanhassen, Chaska, Carver and Victoria.

For the first year of its existence, this critical news source for the Southwest Metro has grown its presence on Facebook and Instagram.

And now the local news organization can be found on X (Twitter), LinkedIn and Nextdoor. Follow Carver County Local News on these additional platforms, plus subscribe so you are alerted to news of importance to local residents.

By subscribing for FREE, readers will receive email alerts when news is posted about topics of interest to that individual. When you subscribe, you’re able to select the communities or news categories (sports, government, business, etc.) of interest to you and only that news will appear in your email inbox.

Plus, as our subscriber numbers rise, the Carver County Local News team will better be able to sustain its operations as advertising revenue grows.

“Our team of volunteer board members and content creators have done a tremendous job this year as we seek to fill a local news void in the Southwest Metro,” said Jeff Holmquist, a volunteer writer and editor for the online site. “We’re hoping that 2026 will be the year we evolve into a sustainable business that will help ensure local residents have access to balanced, accurate and nonpartisan news coverage of eastern Carver County.”

Carver County Local News is a volunteer-run non-profit organization dedicated to bringing important news to eastern Carver County.
Because we rely on volunteer time and effort, we value help from the community. See something newsworthy happening? Document it and submit a news tip here.
While we value community input and news tips, Carver County Local News does not publish letters to the editor or rebuttal opinion pieces.
We’re also actively looking for volunteer writers to help witness events in our community and share them with others. Click here to volunteer.
