Local Officials Join MPCA in Advocating for Extreme Weather Proposal
For the second time in under a month, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency was joined by local mayors advocating for a $2.9 million climate resiliency proposal to help communities prepare for extreme weather.
Last month, it was members from Northwestern Minnesota, and today, it was members from Northeastern Minnesota on a Zoom call pushing for the plan.
One of the local mayors on the call was Chris Etzler, the mayor of Staples, who says some infrastructure has been updated, while some has not – specifically, areas surrounding Staples-Motley High School are in need of updates.
