MEDIA ADVISORY

Minnesota mayors & business leaders to urge action on federal bipartisan infrastructure plan

Minneapolis-St. Paul — Minnesota mayors and business leaders will hold a virtual press event on Monday to discuss the federal bipartisan infrastructure deal that was announced on June 24 and urge members of the Minnesota Congressional delegation to support the bill. The $1.2 trillion plan would make investments in roads, bridges, public transit, and passenger rail over the next eight years. The Biden administration has agreed to the infrastructure framework with a bipartisan group of Senators, but it has yet to be voted on in the U.S. Senate or U.S. House.

WHAT: Virtual press briefing on the urgent need for investment in infrastructure

              Rochester Mayor Kim Norton
              Willmar Mayor Marv Calvin
Jonathan Weinhagen, President & CEO, Minneapolis Regional Chamber
