House Capital Investment Committee Set to Begin Final Bonding Tour in the Metro Area
Saint Paul, MN - This week, Co-Chair Mary Franson and members of the House Capital Investment Committee will begin a three-day bonding tour across the Twin Cities metropolitan area, marking the fifth and final regional tour of the year. Lawmakers will visit dozens of sites across Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, Dakota, and Anoka Counties to review proposed projects and hear directly from local officials and community leaders about infrastructure, transportation, and public service needs.
The tour will include key stops such as:
Hennepin County – Hennepin County Behavioral Health Center, Avivo and St. David’s Center facilities, Northwest Metro Regional Athletic Facility in Brooklyn Park, Hennepin Technical College, City of Plymouth Center Redevelopment, Ridgedale Fire Station in Minnetonka, Panoway on Wayzata Bay, and Normandale Community College in Bloomington.
Ramsey County – Mill City Museum, Ordway Center for Performing Arts, CHS Field improvements, Metro State University, and infrastructure presentations including the RiverCentre Convention complex and Roy Wilkins Auditorium.
Washington County – Newport inflow and infiltration upgrades, Oak Park Heights and Stillwater PFAS water treatment projects, Ravine Regional Park in Cottage Grove, and trail connections along CSAH 5 and Stonebridge Trail.
Dakota County – Mendota Heights Public Safety and City Hall, West St. Paul DHS Crisis Recovery Center, and water and infrastructure projects across the south metro.
Anoka County – Metro Regional Treatment Center in Anoka, Rogers Main Street Reconstruction, and local water and sewer improvement projects in Dayton and St. Francis.
“These tours have been an important opportunity for lawmakers to hear from local leaders, see proposed projects firsthand, and understand the infrastructure needs across Minnesota,” said Co-Chair Franson. “As we look ahead to next session, we remain focused on making responsible investments that strengthen communities and deliver long-term value to taxpayers.”
This Metro Area tour concludes the committee’s five-part statewide bonding tour series. The input gathered throughout these visits will guide lawmakers as they finalize bonding recommendations for the upcoming legislative session.
