Minnesota Roadway Maintenance Training and Demo Day

About the Event

Minnesota LTAP is bringing our annual event to Cloquet, and you will not want to miss it! Located along the St. Louis River, the city boasts a wide variety of winter and summer recreational activities, including some of the only white water rafting available in Minnesota. The event will be held at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College (FDLTCC); the college is situated on a picturesque bluff overlooking Cloquet, and as the only Tribal college and state community college in the nation, FDLTCC upholds a 37-year legacy as a Union of Cultures.

We’ll once again be highlighting the latest practices, innovations, and research related to Minnesota’s roadway maintenance operations. The event focuses exclusively on education and technology exchange through classroom sessions and outdoor demonstrations. Register now to join us for this opportunity to learn, explore, and be part of a community network for exchanging best practices.
