The Citizens Advisory Panel was established by the City of Benson, in April 2001 to represent the Benson community and provide public input during the development, construction and operation of the Fibrominn project.

This twelve member independent panel, consisting of local citizens from various backgrounds, acts as a liaison between Fibrominn and the community to address possible citizen questions and comments about the Fibrominn Plant.  The members of the Citizens Advisory Panel encourage feedback from the community.  They are available to hear your comments and questions.

During monthly meetings, Fibrominn representatives have helped the committee members and the community to better understand the Fibrominn Project, and the impact it will have on Benson and the surrounding area.  Issues that have been addressed so far include: truck traffic, odors, layout of the facility and air emissions.
