Dayton, Nolan visit storm-ravaged region

NISSWA - Gov. Mark Dayton and U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Minn., on Friday visited Brainerd-area resorts damaged by recent severe weather to emphasize the area tourism industry is “open for business” in the wake of the storm.
“Come to Nisswa, come to the lakes area,” Dayton said. “It’s still one of the most beautiful areas in the country.”
Nolan, who flew back from Washington following news of the storm, took a helicopter tour of the damage corridor with Dayton.
“The entire community has come together in a remarkable way to get the area back on track,” Nolan said.
