What Does $106 Million Get You in Maine? Yes, this does matter in Minot

What happens when big institutions like state and local governments are guided by momentum and past practices rather than the communities they were set up to serve? It’s a question that stretches beyond borders and needs to be taken up regularly anytime a big idea, particularly those tagged as ‘infrastructure’ are introduced.

In this article from Strong Towns, we get a case example of an old idea that no one wants going forward anyway. In Minot, we can draw a parallel between the proposed new South bypass. Has anyone asked if want people bypassing Minot to begin with?

Here’s the link to the MDN Story on the topic from back in August.
