MINITEX safe
I’m in the regional headquarters in Rochester, MN, just south of the Cities. Needless to say, we’ve got a number of friends and compatriots in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and so were relieved to get this email this afternoon:
Deliveries to the MINITEX Office have resumed this morning after last night’s collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge, which is located less than a half mile from the Elmer L. Andersen Library where we are located. Our office is open today — as is the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities Campus — and, thankfully, our staff members are all safe.
Please keep the victims, their families and recovery teams in your thoughts.
