Capital investment means clean water, safe roads, housing, economic development, and good-paying jobs in Greater Minnesota.

Capital investment, or "bonding," is a critically important tool to stimulate the economy and address public infrastructure needs throughout the state. The Greater Minnesota Partnership believes that state capital investment bills should focus on the basics - local roads, bridges, water, wastewater, and the public infrastructure needed to support housing and business development.

In 2023, the GMNP fought hard to secure a capital investment package that met the needs of Greater Minnesota. The final outcome included:

$208 million

for water and wastewater infrastructure

$900 thousand

for the Greater Minnesota Child Care Facilities Grant program

$10 million

for the Greater Minnesota Business Development Public Infrastructure Grant program

$3 million

for the Greater Minnesota Housing Public Infrastructure Grant program
