Legislative, legal, educational, media, and other services focused on common issues that affect Greater Minnesota cities including property taxes, local sales tax, capital investment and infrastructure, and emergency medical services.

This session we worked with legislators and other groups to push for increased funding for the Business Development Public Infrastructure program, housing infrastructure programs, and transportation infrastructure programs. We also worked to stop or modify legislation that would have impacted economic growth and infrastructure development in Greater MN.
