COMMUNITY NEWS

Royal Credit Union Diaper Drive


According to The National Diaper Bank Network, 1 in 2 families will experience diaper insufficiency. Additionally, no federal government program provides funding for families to purchase diapers.


To address this need, Royal is proud to partner with Feed My People Food Bank, St Croix Valley Food Bank, and the Diaper Bank of Minnesota. Each May, diapers and wipes will be collected at all Royal Credit Union locations. Additionally, monetary donations can be made in office or online.

Volunteers from the IGH Business Community Needed for IGH Stormwater Focus Group 


The City of Inver Grove Heights is looking for individuals from the business community to participate in an upcoming focus group. The group will meet six times — Tuesday evenings from May to September – to provide input on how the City establishes stormwater utility rates.   


On average, the City of IGH generates less revenue from stormwater utility fees than neighboring cities and regularly supplements this revenue with money from other sources, in order to cover the costs of its stormwater infrastructure. As part of a larger stormwater utility rate study, the City is seeking to gather input from a volunteer focus group. The group will evaluate and provide feedback on various rate structure options, to help the City arrive at a new rate structure that is fair and equitable to various types of property owners and generates sufficient funding for the City’s growing stormwater infrastructure needs. 


Individuals interested in bringing the voice of the business community to the task force are encouraged to contact the City at StormFocusGroup@ighmn.gov.
