The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded $4,050,000 to Ward County for the Minot Corridor Project. The funding comes from the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant program.
Ward County will use this grant for planning, environmental documentation, and preliminary design work on three transportation corridors and their intersections. This includes the Outer Connector route from US Highway 2/52 to US Highway 83 along County Roads 14 and 16, as well as the Inner Connector from US Highway 2/52 to County Road 14 along 30th Street SW.
“Minot’s growth is a testament to the region’s strong economy and welcoming community, and this BUILD grant will enhance residential and commercial transportation options in the area,” said an official statement. “This grant will help ensure the Magic City’s growth goes hand-in-hand with safer and more efficient travel.”
U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer, together with other members of North Dakota’s congressional delegation, supported the application for this project by writing a letter highlighting its importance for Minot and Ward County.
