Paving the Way - Municipal Streets Seminar

Description

The Municipal Streets Seminar is a unique offering to assist cities with developing street paving projects and programs. It is brought to you by the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center and Minnesota State University - Mankato. City staff, elected officials, and consulting engineers are invited to attend and gather for information on funding, financing, designing, and constructing city streets. The National CP Tech Center has decades of experience providing resources, technology transfer, research, and support to cities across the country on concrete paving technologies. 

Professional Development Hours: The Minnesota State Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, and Interior Design has established formal PDH requirements for license renewal. This seminar conforms to the rules established by the Minnesota State Board and consequently should qualify for formal PDH credit. Certificates of Attendance will be available.
