The 2026 capital investment bill includes $3 million to redesign 332nd Street, a road a lot of us use every day and one that has needed safety improvements for years.

$3.9 million went to upgrading the St. Cloud Regional Airport’s landing system and installing approach lights. Not the most glamorous item on this list, but a safer airport is how a regional economy stays connected.

And $4 million went to improving St. Cloud’s water treatment plant. Clean, reliable water is the kind of thing you only notice when it stops working.
