CLEAN WATER LISTENING SESSION IN WEST ST. PAUL NEXT MONTH
WEST ST. PAUL, MN – The University of Minnesota's Water Resources Center (WRC) and the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) are actively seeking input on a plan to protect and preserve Minnesota's lakes, streams, rivers and groundwater for the 21st century and beyond.
WRC and BWSR staff will conduct a series of listening sessions around the state to gather ideas and insights to inform the Minnesota Water Sustainability Framework, a 25-year plan on how and when to make investments that will ensure the purity and abundance of Minnesota’s water for generations to come. Citizens, local officials and water resources professionals are invited to attend the listening session in their area to provide input on this plan.
One of those listening sessions will take place in West St. Paul on Thursday, February 18 at the Dakota Lodge of Thompson Park. State Rep. Rick Hansen (DFL – South St. Paul) encourages all area residents to attend and provide input for this important effort.
“The Mississippi River has always been the lifeblood and cornerstone of communities along the river," said Rep. Hansen. “Therefore, it is critically important that area residents participate in this decision-making process. We want to hear your input, and work together to derive the greatest value for your dollar.”
