ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A series of Citizens Forums kicks off this week to give Minnesotans a chance to weigh in on their priorities and visions for the environment -- including one meeting in Moorhead.
The first two forums are Tuesday in Rochester and Bloomington.
Other forums are set for Wednesday in Duluth, Worthington on December 10th.
St. Cloud on December 12th and Moorhead on December 14th.
The Environmental Quality Board is convening the forums to assess Minnesota's progress toward clean air, water and energy.
The board says it wants to engage citizens in constructive dialogue, identify environmental challenges, and define a vision for Minnesota's environmental future.
State leaders will gather in March for a one-day summit where they will discuss the feedback received at the six forums, and begin planning a blueprint for Minnesota's environmental and economic future.
