Dear Neighbors,
Thank you to those who attended yesterday’s environment listening session in Chokio! We had a great turnout as over 110 individuals from around the area came to the Chokio Fire Department to discuss a wide variety of issues ranging from the Governor’s buffer proposal to MPCA regulations. I would also like to thank Chair Denny McNamara for taking time out of his busy schedule to attend this meeting.
