Hi all, I testified today at the legislature in favor of H.F. 2796, a bill affecting the potential for a new state-of-the-art asphalt plant in Phillips.
The bill was approved unanimously by the House Local Government & Metropolitan Affairs committee. The first Senate hearing is scheduled for Thursday. This bill will bring a smarter way to do business. We can save tax payers millions and have a cleaner environment. The bill authorizes the city of Minneapolis to enter into discussions with a private entity for a joint asphalt plant. Currently, there are two asphalt plants in Phillips. By reducing the number of asphalt plants from two to one, we will see greater efficiencies and a decrease in air and noise pollution. Thanks to neighborhood activists Carol Pass, Michael Krause and others for their work on this and thanks to Reps. Davnie, Clark, Gray, Walker, Skoglund and others for their co-sponsorships!
