RCP and Scott County kicked off our yearlong partnership at the Scott County Fair at the end of July.
RCP joined Scott County staff in talking with fairgoers about the goals of the partnership, the 14 projects identified by the County, and ideas for making Scott County and its residents more resilient. Numerous community members stopped by to share their connections to the University of Minnesota and learn more about the collaboration. Fairgoers were also encouraged to participate in an online survey to help RCP and the County gather preliminary input on key projects. If you live in Scott County, you canstill take the survey through the end of December 2018.
The Scott County Fair was a fun opportunity to connect with community members and celebrate our partnership. Stay tuned throughout the year for more events and ways to get involved in advancing resilience and sustainability in Scott County!
