State and City Candidates will Join us for Zero Expansion's Forum October 1, 2008-
Candidate Forum and Historical Exhibit Eden Prairie City Center
Heritage Rooms
October 1, 2008 From 7 to 9PM
There are still long time residents right here in Eden Prairie who tell it like it was (and is because they are still fighting the expansion):
"The first meeting in Eden Prairie about the jets and noise and concern for expansion was in Spring or Summer of '75 at the home of an Eden Prairie resident, several representatives from Mac, one of the business owners, and other neighbors were present."
"Way back in 1975 Eden Prairie homeowners served on FCAC commission, they witnessed the discussions and debate which resulted in the now defunct Ordinance 51, which MAC agreed to put in place, enforce and stand with the community.
Come and view 30+ years of news clippings, letters, and articles all related to the 30= years fight against the Flying Cloud Airport expansion.
Participate in our candidate forum. Candidates running for the Minnesota Legislature will have an opportunity at the beginning of the session to introduce themselves and respond to some audience questions related to airport issues in Eden Prairie.
The rest of the Forum will focus on city council participants, three of whom responded to a list of questions via email; their responses are included here..
At the Forum all the city council candidates will participate in a discussion session based on five or six different questions that each candidate will be able to address both individually and in a round table discussion. Audience questions will be allowed.
