The mayor of International Falls is calling a recent trip to Washington productive.
Shawn Mason was joined with officials from the city, Koochiching and St. Louis County and as well as Voyageurs National Park last week.
Transportation was among topics discussed.
"We we're talking about issues surrounding International Falls being a North American transportation hub," says Mason, "as it relates to the second busiest rail port of entry in North America, our highway system and our International airport,
which is not only good for northwestern Ontario and northern Minnesota, but all of North America as a continent."
Mason says they also took time to promote events associated with the Park headquarters' opening this summer.
