Granite Falls Considers Increased CAPX Investment

In Minnesota, the Granite Falls City Council is mulling an increase in its investment in the CAPX2020 project from approximately $415,000 to $1.3 million. The city's interest is in the 250-mile Brookings County-to-Hampton segment that runs from Brookings, SD to Hampton, MN and includes a link from Marshall, MN  to Granite Falls. Construction is expected to begin in 2012 and be completed by 2015 at an estimated cost of $827 million. The cost of the entire CAPX project is estimated at $1.95 billion.
