Good news. The Minnesota DOT will give Hopkins Volunteers a section of highway that goes through our town. It's Hwy 169 between Hwy 7 and Hwy 62.
I have had this section of highway with another group for the past two years, but I have lacked for volunteers. I feel that this change will bring new energy to the trash picking. I think that I can recruit students from Hopkins High School using the Depot as a gathering place.
It will take a few months for the DOT to put up the new signs.
The DOT provides the signage, the bags, and the vests.
