Hennepin County Board Approves Funding for Reduced-scope SWLRT

On July 7th, the Hennepin County board became the first elected body to offer a formal funding commitment to a Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) plan that reduces the project’s scope by more than a quarter billion dollars and adds other local investments to the funding mix. This is consistent with the funding plan approved last week by the SWLRT Corridor Management Committee.
