DULUTH, MN (Northern News Now) – State Senator Jen McEwen led a virtual town hall meeting Monday with other state lawmakers and the Department of Transportation (MnDOT), providing updates on the Northern Lights Express (NLX).
The NLX is a proposed passenger train that would provide service between Minneapolis and the Twin Ports.
The 155-mile long project was given $194.7 million by state lawmakers in May which only accounts for 20 percent of the total funding.
The rest will need to come from Federal Grants, which MnDOT applied for in March.
The project is on pause until those applications are approved.
MnDOT will soon launch a website that will provide all of the latest updates on the Northern Lights Express.
