UMVRDC Invites Local Residents to Discuss Proposed Transportation Projects for 2025-2028

The Upper Minnesota Valley Regional Development Commission (UMVRDC) is seeking public comments on the draft Area Transportation Partnership Improvement Program (ATIP) for 2025-2028. This plan, which covers Big Stone, Swift, Chippewa, Lac qui Parle and Yellow Medicine Counties, will be integrated with other ATIPs into the State Transportation Improvement Program.

A public meeting will take place on Tuesday, March 19, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Appleton Civic Center. At this meeting, Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) staff will present the proposed transportation projects. The public is invited to attend and give feedback.

The meeting will also provide a list of 2024 construction projects for the area and a map of proposed projects in Southwest and West Central Minnesota. These resources will be available online as well, offering a complete picture of the region's planned transportation improvements.

For those who cannot attend the meeting, the ATIP MapComment Form allows online submission of comments. This ensures everyone has a chance to share their views on the proposed projects.

For further information, contact Brianne Nelsen, Community Development Specialist at 320-289-1981 ext. 113. The UMVRDC welcomes public feedback on the future of transportation in the region.
