Grass Lake area especially for the Lake Wakanda Water Plan.
The details are as follows:
When:
September 14th at 10:00AM

Bruce Gilbertson and LeRoy Dahlke from the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) will be presenting the Lake Wakanda Water Plan.
There will be an open discussion following the presentation for
you to ask questions and share your comments regarding the plan.
There are many involved in the Lake Wakanda Water Plan. This
meeting provides an opportunity for the different organizations to meet
and share their ideas and possible solutions. I believe that in
order to move this plan forward with a unified purpose the groups and
individuals associated with this very large area need to assemble in
one room to clarify their goals and review the resources available.
It is my hope that you will be able to attend and give your valuable
input regarding the Lake Wakanda Water Plan.
Please RSVP to sen.joe.gimse@senate.mn
or call (651) 296-3826. I am looking forward to discussing this
project with you.
