The annual Great Northwest Day at the Capitol will be in Jefferson City January 31 and February 1.
The event allows Northwest Missouri community advocates to share their priorities with State Legislators and departments.
Priorities for this year’s Great Northwest Day include creation of a rural policy office; investment in infrastructure, including broadband deployment, transportation, water and wastewater; investment in education, including Pre-K through 12th grades and higher education; and local control for programs such as solid waste districts, economic development funding, and school districts.
The event will feature an introduction on the House and Senate floors, a regional luncheon, department roundtables, and an educational breakfast.
Communities participating in the Great Northwest Day include Bethany and Harrison County, Brookfield and Linn County, Caldwell County, Chillicothe and Livingston County, Daviess County, Marceline and Linn County, Sullivan County, and Trenton and Grundy County.
