Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Rulemaking Moves Into Public Input Phase. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is embarking on the next phase of rulemaking for the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA). The MRCCA is a 72 -mile land corridor along the Mississippi River, governed by special land development regulations that protect and preserve the unique natural, recreational, transportation, and cultural features of this section of the Mississippi River. Over the past five years, City of Ramsey staff have been involved in helping the DNR establish new districts and new land development standards to replace regulations that have become outdated and difficult to administer over time. The next phase in updating these rules will involve taking public input through a formal comment and public hearing process. For information on upcoming public hearings and how to submit a written comment to the DNR, please see the MRCCA Rulemaking Moves Into Public Input Phase article.
