Congressman Walz in Owatonna-Hwy 14 needs to be in MnDOT 20 Year Plan

Owatonna Mayor Tom Kuntz describes the importance of Highway 14
being in MnDOT's 20 year plan. Federal dollars
will be virtually non-existent if the project's not included in the plan.
The recent announcement that TIGER grant dollars will not
be used for this project is a glaring example of how, federally,
the Congressman's hands are tied if the state won't support the
highway project by placing it in the 20 year plan.

 Congressman Walz stopped in Owatonna as a part of a three-community press conference centering around the importance of including Highway 14 in MnDOT's 20-Year Plan.

Lack of the highway in the 20 year plan limits the ability of Congressman Walz to direct federal resources toward Highway 14, which is frustrating when it comes to competing for future funds.

Let Commissioner Zelle with MnDOT and Governor Dayton know how important it is to get Highway 14 put in the 20 year plan!

OACCT President/CEO Jennifer Libby describes how
businesses are effected by the incomplete Highway 14; the
unfinished road creates economic impact concerns as well
as safety issues.
