20-Year Highway Investment Plan

You may be interested in participating in this meeting on October 11th in Mankato. If you rely on the highway system to move goods and people in or out of your business, you should find a way to have input on this process.

MnDOT to host meetings on 20-year highway investment plan

The public and transportation stakeholders are invited to participate in developing the 20-year Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan at meetings across the state Oct. 4-23. 

Public input at these meetings is one of several important factors that will influence the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s priorities over the next 20 years.

Each meeting is three hours long and begins with an overview presentation and public input session. An open house will follow, with opportunities to engage in interactive exercises and with MnDOT staff. Meeting details are below: 

The closest meeting to Jackson County will take place in Mankato on Monday, Oct. 10, from 2 to 5 p.m. at MnDOT District 7 Headquarters.
