SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Earlier this month, Governor Tim Walz signed a $2.6 billion capital investment package and a $1 billion transportation budget to fund construction, renovation, and redevelopment projects. Senator John Hoffman (DFL-Champlin), who authored or co-authored bills that combined for more than $170 million, welcomed the bills being signed into law as a major victory for his district and the state.
“This bipartisan bill is a great investment in Minnesota after years of inaction,” said Senator Hoffman. “Projects funded in this legislation will create good-paying jobs and improve the quality of life for residents in the northern suburbs, the Twin Cities, and all parts of the state. The result will be cleaner water, safer roads, healthier kids, and a more culturally enriched experience as Minnesotans.”
