Mississippi River Clean Up Plan Open House

The National Park Service and Friends of the Mississippi River are co-hosting an open house to give members of the public a chance to learn about a clean up plan to decrease the sediment load, and to provide comments on the plan.

The open house will be held Wednesday, May 4 from 3:30-7:30p at the Merriam Park Library in Saint Paul (1831 Marshall Ave. at Fairview).

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend, and pre-registration is not required. 

There will be educational displays with agency staff on-hand throughout the event to answer questions and explain the project in detail. 

Light refreshments will be available.

The clean-up plan should be released any day now, and will be posted with other project
