MINNESOTA — On Monday, August 12, 2019, at 10:00 AM, U.S. Reps. Angie Craig (CD2) and Dean Phillips (CD3) will kick off Transportation Week in Prior Lake by holding a roundtable on efforts to improve water quality with city and county elected officials and representatives from the Metropolitan Council. The roundtable will focus on how the federal government can respond to the local needs of communities in Minnesota.
Then, at 1:00 PM in Bloomington, Rep. Phillips and Rep. Craig will continue Transportation Week by hosting a listening session in Bloomington on surface transportation infrastructure with city and county elected officials and representatives from the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Rep. Craig serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Water Resources Subcommittee where she pushes for bipartisan, common-sense investments and improvements to local infrastructure projects. Rep. Craig’s bill to improve local water quality, the Local Water Protection Act, passed out of the House earlier this year with overwhelming bipartisan support.
Rep. Phillips recently completed a tour of all 36 cities in Minnesota’s 3rd District where infrastructure and water quality were voiced as a top concern for every community. Phillips and Craig are co-sponsors of the Water Quality Protection and Job Creation Act, which would provide federal funding for the construction, repair and replacement of wastewater and stormwater treatment facilities.
