Dayton Announces 10 Meetings to Discuss Water Quality in Minnesota
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Governor Mark Dayton announced locations Wednesday, for a series of Water Quality Town Hall meetings beginning in late July. Ten town halls will offer Minnesotans an opportunity to discuss water quality challenges facing their communities and our state, as well as hear from experts and engage with policymakers.
The meetings build on the momentum from Dayton’s “25 by 25” Water Quality goal proposal, announced earlier this year.
“All Minnesotans have a stake in water that’s safe for drinking, swimming, and fishing,” said Gov. Dayton. “Those town hall meetings will further the important conversations already happening across Minnesota around water quality. Together we can develop strategies and solutions that work for all of our communities.”
The meetings are free and open to the public and will be attended by key members of Dayton’s cabinet.
All meetings will run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and registration begins at 6 p.m.
