MnDOT is attempting to address an information gap by conducting a comprehensive and systematic analysis of economic effects of a highway improvement project—the conversion of US 12 to Interstate 394 (I-394). This I-394 Business Impact Study is a first step in documenting credible, local information about the potential business related impacts associated with highway
improvements. This research is intended to provide a comprehensive long-term evaluation of the transportation, business, and land development impacts of a major transportation project in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.
