House Capital Investment Visits Proposed Investment Sites in District 18A
SAINT PETER, Minn. - Wednesday and Thursday, the Minnesota House Capital Investment Committee toured Southwest and Central Minnesota, visiting sites and hearing presentations on proposed projects for potential inclusion in the 2024 Capital Investment Bill. Among stops on the tour were four sites in district 18A, represented by Rep. Jeff Brand (DFL – Saint Peter.) Stops in the district included Caswell Park, the Minnesota River State Trail, MSU Mankato, and South Central College.
Rep. Brand issued the following statement:
“Our region of the state is prime for more state investment - whether it’s in recreation opportunities at Caswell Park or the Minnesota River State Trail or in advancing campus educational opportunities at MSU Mankato or South Central College, there is no doubt that people want to live and work here. These investments will no doubt improve quality of life for our residents and attract more working families to our area.”
This is the third regional tour that will take the committee across the state this fall, following their tours of the northern half of the state last month. The committee will continue its tour next week in Southeast Minnesota.
