Greetings,

You and many other Northstar Commuter Rail supporters have played a critical role in getting final legislative approval for Northstar this year. That's why I hope you can join us at 9:45 a.m. Thursday, June 1, when Governor Tim Pawlenty signs into law the bonding bill that grants state funding for Northstar.

Governor Pawlenty, legislators and local officials will join supporters at the Elk River Park-and-Ride Lot — future home of the Northstar Commuter Rail Elk River station. There will be a short program followed by a reception.

When: Thursday, June 1 at 9:45 a.m.
Where: Elk River Park-and-Ride Lot (map)

Please let us know if you plan on attending by clicking here: http://ga3.org/northstar/events/billsigning_northstar/details.tcl?member_key=nay5b3et8&

This event is a great opportunity to thank legislators and the Governor for their leadership on this project, and show them the strength of Northstar's support. I hope you can join us.

Duane Grandy
Chair
Northstar Corridor Development Authority
