About this Event

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Imagine Deliver are hosting three community conversations to hear directly from community members like you about Minnesota’s air permitting process and its impact on our neighborhoods.

Your voice matters—this is a chance to eat yummy food, share your perspectives, and help shape recommendations that will improve the program for all of us.

Event Details

Time: 6:00 – 7:30 PM
Location: Arlington Community Center, St. Paul

Incentive:

Participants will receive a great meal from a local spot and a $25 gift card from Imagine Deliver—our way of saying thanks for sharing your time and expertise!

Who Should Attend?

We’re looking for community members who:

Are at least 18 years old
Are familiar with or interested in MPCA’s air permitting program and want to learn more

What to Expect

The Imagine Deliver team will facilitate these community conversations. Participants can expect to be guided through engaging discussions on air permitting, health and environment concerns, and how MPCA can better engage impacted communities. Each session will begin with a brief overview of the air permitting process. These sessions will be hosted in English.

Impact

Your voice matters. The insights and feedback from these conversations will directly shape a report that puts community experiences at the center of the air permitting process. This report, alongside an internal audit by the MPCA, will drive real recommendations to improve the program so it works better for the people it impacts most.

We hope you’ll sign up for this important conversation. Your voice can help create meaningful change in how air quality is managed in our communities. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to connect, share a meal, and make an impact together!
