“Transforming the Lock” open house

The National Parks Conservation Association and MSR (Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd.) will host “Transforming the Lock,” a public input open house, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 6-8 p.m., at Mill City Museum, 704 Second St. S.

The Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock in Minneapolis was closed to navigation in 2015. It now serves as a visitor center for the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, the national park in the Twin Cities.

Participants are encouraged to help identify ways to improve access to the lock, provide a rich visitor experience at the site, and connect the lock to the surrounding riverfront. Light refreshments provided. RSVP to Christine Goepfert at cgoepfert@npca.org or 612-270-8564.
