Charter Business Public Affairs Issues Series:
Mining in Minnesota: Economic Opportunity, Environmental Challenge or Both?
What's the big deal about frac sand mining? Some see opportunity: we have the sand, companies want to mine it and people need jobs. Others worry it's a health hazard, damages the environment and leads to costly road repair. Join us as we hear from the experts about this hot button issue and what it may mean for southeastern Minnesota, our communities, and you. We'll also weigh in on the intriguing debate over the potential new copper mine in northern Minnesota.
