In the news:

   Governor Walz signed the 2024 Jobs Omnibus bill which includes  funding to  create new water and wastewater operator training programs at Riverland Community College to serve cities all across southern MN. The $350,000 amount will also be used to help with expanded recruitment efforts for these careers through Riverland and the Workforce Centers in southern MN. The fiscal agent for the funds is the City of Austin.

Thank you, Austin!
