Minnesota has finalized new land-use and development rules that will protect the metro Mississippi River corridor for years to come.

Let's celebrate! Please join us for happy hour. We could not have done this without our dedicated river community and citizen advocates. Let us raise a glass in your honor. 

We'll also fill you in on next steps to ensure that the rules are implemented to maximize protections.

Your voice matters and your advocacy has made a big, lasting difference for our Mississippi River. Thank you!
