Welcome back to lake country!!

Please plan to attend one of the one-hour sessions designed especially for our Long Lake Area Association seasonal residents to help you learn about the proposed Sandpiper Pipeline Route through Hubbard County's lakes area.

The MN Public Utilities Commission has extended the public comment period only until 5/30/14 to give us all a chance to learn even more about this important opportunity.  We will have resource materials available that were shared in the January 2014 Park Rapids League of Women Voters Panel Discussion on the Sandpiper Pipeline, educational maps with the pipeline route from the Friends of the Headwaters, recent newspaper articles and other information available for you.

To accommodate everyone's busy spring schedules, this one-hour session will be offered 3 separate times.  All sessions will be at the Northwoods Bank Community Room, 1200 East First Street, Park Rapids, MN 56470.  The room is handicap accessible.  Park away from the front of the Bank!

Choose just one "1-hour session" that fits your schedule best.
