The MWMO was formed in 1986 by Minneapolis, Lauderdale, St. Anthony, Falcon Heights, St. Paul, the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, and the University of Minnesota. Its mission is to lead and to foster stewardship of the Mississippi watershed with actions that promote civic ownership and responsibility and through measures that achieve diverse and functional ecosystems. As Chair of their Board of Commissioners I have appreciated the opportunity to observe their work firsthand and I’m confident that their projects, programs and outreach will offer significant resources as we move forward in reimagining our Mississippi riverfront and safeguarding our watershed.
MWMO’s work ranges from educational outreach initiatives like educational workshops and the youth employment Green Team program to the ongoing monitoring of water quality to the funding and management of major stormwater mitigation and improvement projects. MWMO has been a partner in developing the Green Campus project, encompassing Jackson Square Park, the Edison High School campus and athletic fields and the Public Works Flood Mitigation Basin in the Holland neighborhood.
