MnDOT announced this week that it is applying for a $25 million grant from the federal government’s BUILD Grant Program to help fund Highway 14 expansion from Nicollet to New Ulm. MnDOT has committed to fund the difference between the $25 million grant and the full cost of the project if Highway 14 is selected for this federal grant.

We need your help! Public support is an important aspect of the federal BUILD grant program. MnDOT is asking the Highway 14 Partnership to solicit as many letters of support for the project as possible.

Act Now! Submit a letter of support for Highway 14 under these guidelines:  

Format: See this letter of support template. Letters must be addressed to the US Secretary of Transportation, Elaine L. Chao.
