East Metro Recovery

In August, the Metropolitan Council and three Hmong organizations will hold a business and workforce opportunity session featuring the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit project. This is the Met Council’s fourth large community meeting in less than a year for minority-owned, women-owned and small businesses or job seekers to learn about job opportunities on the biggest public works project in state history. The latest session is targeted at Hmong business owners and Hmong workforce advocates who have an interest in ensuring Hmong inclusion in the Central Corridor LRT line’s construction, which will begin in late summer 2010. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Aug. 12 at Lao Family Community of Minnesota Inc. at 320 W. University Ave. in St. Paul. To register, contact Lu Hang at the Hmong Chamber of Commerce by Aug. 6 by email or by phone at 651-645-6777.
