For 40 years, the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MNTAP), housed within the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, has been a shining example of the power of collaboration and innovation. Established by the Minnesota legislature in 1984, MNTAP has partnered with businesses across the state to improve workplace safety as well as reduce waste, conserve energy, and implement sustainable practices that protect our environment. Their work demonstrates that small, practical changes can lead to big results—for businesses, communities, and our planet. Current projects include helping businesses identify and reduce forever chemicals such as PFAS. I invite you to learn more about MNTAP’s legacy and their ongoing commitment to making Minnesota a healthier place for all – today and for future generations.
