ST. PAUL — Gov. Tim Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan announced Tuesday over $20 million in funding for small cities, townships and counties in Minnesota. The Small Cities Development Program (SCDP) grants will be used for infrastructure and rehabilitation projects in 34 Minnesota cities, townships and counties.

“From St. Peter to Swanville, Minnesota does better when all of our neighborhoods are thriving,” Walz said in a news release. “These grants are going directly to smaller communities to help with infrastructure projects and keep our cities growing and thriving. We are working to make Minnesota the best state to live, work and raise a family — no matter where you live.”
