The MPCA would like to invite Beltrami and Northeast Park community members to attend an informational open house at Northeast Recreation Center in Minneapolis on Thursday, August 8 from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm to discuss current and upcoming public notices for air permits of three local facilities: Diamond Vogel, Prospect Foundry, and Innovent Air Handling. This meeting will provide a comprehensive overview of the air permit amendments and/or renewals for these facilities, highlighting the steps taken by each facility to comply with environmental regulations.
The MPCA is committed to informing the public about these regulated facilities, guiding them on how to engage in the public comment period, and demonstrating how their input can influence permit decisions. This open house represents a proactive effort to better engage community members and ensure their concerns and feedback are heard.
