Star Tribune reports the Danville Regional Foundation is considering funding the study on the impact of uranium mining and milling.

The foundation, formed in 2005 following the sale of Danville Regional Medical Center, last week issued a request for qualifications for a proposed study from interested firms, non-profit organizations and academic programs.

According to president and chief executive officer Karl Stauber, the foundation hopes to sponsor an “independent and rigorous socioeconomic examination” of the effects of the proposed uranium mine, mill, and long-term waste management on the people and institutions, including the economy, of its service region.
