Each week in February, the CGMC will be shining a light on a different topic that impacts Greater Minnesota cities — and we want you to join us!
- Feb. 1 – Feb. 7: Local Government Aid Week
- Feb. 8 – Feb. 14: Child Care Week
- Feb. 15 – Feb. 21: Water Infrastructure Week
- Feb. 22 – Feb. 28: Housing Week
Our advocacy weeks efforts will include meetings with key legislators, state agency officials and the Walz Administration; informational webinars; and outreach through social media and traditional media. We will share more details on each of our advocacy week topics in the weeks ahead. Keep an eye out for emails from us and be sure to “like” CGMC on Facebook (facebook.com/greatermncities) and follow us on Twitter (@greatermncities) for more information.
