Governor Tim Walz today announced his 2024 Infrastructure Plan for the upcoming legislative session. The $982 million plan invests in infrastructure improvements across the state, including funding for water and transportation infrastructure, housing, and public safety.

In a statement Governor Walz said “The investments in our 2024 Infrastructure Plan are investments in the wellbeing and future of Minnesota,” and that “We have an obligation to ensure every Minnesotan has access to clean water, well-maintained infrastructure, safe communities, and state buildings that are safe and accessible. These projects will support local governments in their work to improve our infrastructure and create good-paying jobs in every corner of the state.”

The plan has over $320 million going towards Water Systems and Transportation programs and projects, $189 million for public safety projects and rehabilitative programming for incarcerated individuals, over $97 million for housing and environment,  $440 million to maintain and renew state owned buildings, and $85 million for other infrastructure needs across the state.
