2023 State of Main Street Listening Tour

State of Main Street Tour 2023

State Auditor Julie Blaha invites you to join us for the 2023 State of Main Street listening tour. This years listening sessions will be held in a hybrid format with in-person gatherings in Minneapolis, Bemidji, St. Cloud, and Mankato – and via Zoom! 

The annual State of Main Street is an opportunity for the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) to hear directly from you to ensure our numbers tell the real story of your community. We will share data from our city, town, and county reports, hear from a panel of local government leaders, and ask for your reactions. By pulling our data and your expertise together, we will all make better decisions for our communities.

Register below to join the conversation virtually. If you plan to attend a session in-person, please email megan.thrasher@osa.state.mn.us.
