IN ITS QUEST TO SEARCH OUT FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE PROJECTED COST OF 31 MILLION DOLLARS TO BUILD A NEW WATER FILTRATION FACILITY- FAIRMONT WAS HOST TO REPRESENTATIVES FROM U.S SENATORS AMY KLOBUCHAR AND AL FRANKEN'S OFFICES ON WEDNESDAY. THE PAIR WERE IN TOWN TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FAIRMONT'S NEED FOR A NEW PLANT AND TO SEE THE PROBLEMS AT THE EXISTING OVER 80 YEAR OLD PLANT. THEY WERE NOT OVERLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT FAIRMONT'S CHANCES FOR ANY THING MORE THAN 2 0R 3 MILLION DOLLARS - IF THAT IN FEDERAL MONEY. THE REPRESENTATIVES STATED THAT WITH PAGE AFTER PAGE OF INFRASTRUCTURE APPLICATIONS FACING THOSE IN WASHINGTON - IT DOESN'T BODE WELL FOR THE CITY.
