Leveraging Transportation Investments for Economic Development and Wealth Building
This research will investigate past transportation system projects such as construction of the interstate highway system and construction or expansion of public transit facilities or port facilities, to see how transportation infrastructure can be leveraged to enhance a community’s economic empowerment and unlock wealth-building and economic development opportunities. By understanding how past projects impacted residents, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and local agencies can make future investments that are more equitable, promote economic development, and improve public health.
