Minnesotans need a strong economy we can depend on for good jobs, living wages, and a strong middle class. That’s why Governor Dayton’s proposed budget includes an additional $86.5 million investment in economic development. Some of the projects proposed include providing loans to bring new businesses to Minnesota, a new state-wide incentive program for businesses that will create thousands of jobs, affordable housing, and road and bridge improvements. These projects will improve the State’s economy, create jobs and make Minnesota a more competitive place to do business.
