MANY THANKS to all of you that joined us yesterday during our legislative visits and St. Cloud Evening at the Capitol. We are extremely pleased by the number of legislators from key leadership positions that stopped by the reception.
As our email mentioned yesterday, we continue to advocate for expansion of the St. Cloud Civic Center. The House Capital Investment Committee is scheduled to meet on Monday, March 3 at 10:00 a.m. and we plan to have a small delegation present at the committee meeting. It is our understanding that St. Cloud’s request for inclusion in the House bill is under strong consideration.
Things continue to move quickly and based on our knowledge of next week’s legislative activities, the most important thing you can do over the next few days is call or email members of the St. Cloud Area House Delegation. The delegation must ask the House leadership to include the St. Cloud Civic Center expansion in the bonding bill. Following is their respective contact information:
