Hello Mankato Area Tennis Community!

The North Mankato Caswell Sports Field House project is in the home stretch.. We need your help!

This project will benefit many types of athletes within the community including tennis, pickleball, basketball, wrestling, and volleyball. The MN house and senate committees are reviewing all bonding requests to be included in the next bonding bill. We are thankful for the project to be included in initial proposals from Gov. Walz, Rep. Akland, and Sen. Frentz. We need your help to get over this final hurdle.

How can you help? Take Action:

1. Contact your legislators - Emails, letters, and phone calls. Make sure they know you are a constituent in their district.

The most crucial decision makers are on the Senate Capital Investment Committee. https://www.senate.mn/committees/committee_bio.php?cmte_id=1002
