Northern Metal Lawsuit Update & Public Meeting

The City of Minneapolis and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will be hosting a meeting to discuss recent developments regarding air pollution and Northern Metal Recycling. The City, MPCA and Northern Metal are close to reaching a settlement. Part of the settlement includes Northern Metal setting aside a sum of money to be used for remedying the effects of the company's excess air pollution. This meeting offers Ward 1 and Ward 3 residents an opportunity for input on how best to use this part of the settlement. At the meeting, MPCA officials will give a summary regarding the possible settlement and Minneapolis Health Department staff will give a presentation on environmental public health concerns in the area.
