WHO WILL SAVE ST. ANTHONY FALLS?

Special guest presenters:

Raymond Dehn, State Rep. District 59b
Jamie Long, District Director for Congressman Keith Ellison
Jacob Frey, City Council Member, Ward 3

Will the falls run dry two years from now?  Three new hydro projects propose to divert water from flowing over St. Anthony Falls - Crown Hydro, A Mill Hydro, and Symphony Hydro.  One existing facility - Xcel Energy - is planning to ask permission to increase the amount they divert.

Individually, each of these projects warrant close scrutiny.  Should all 4 gain approval, the falls could be effectively shut off for weeks - even months - every year.  Learn details on each of these projects, and hear new policy initiatives from our elected officials.
