Effective April 11, 2010, the Department of Transportation is able to exchange land with the Upper Sioux Community tribal government for the rerouting of State Highway 274 near Granite Falls.
A new law adds American Indian tribal governments to a state law that allows for land exchanges. The road is being moved for safety reasons.
Rep. Lyle Koenen (DFL-Clara City) and Sen. Gary Kubly (DFL-Granite Falls) sponsor the law that was signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty April 10.
