Governor Dayton's bonding proposal is focused on making the kind of long term investments proven to create jobs.

The proposal also includes additional projects of statewide and regional importance, including investments in water, natural resources, and other important services for Minnesotans. See the attached document for a breakdown of regional highlights in the Governor's Bonding Proposal.
