#MINNESOTA #Infrastructure #Smallbusiness #startupBoom #Transportation ➡ I was in #Hopkins, MN with Chair of the Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities Charlie Zelle to see firsthand how federal bi-partisan infrastructure investments under the Biden-Harris Administration ensure secure and affordable public systems that enable stronger #smallbusiness growth, good jobs creation, affordable housing through public transportation and walkable/bikeable transit. The dollars from the Federal Transit Administration are creating and expanding the downtown Hopkins Light Rail stop. It's only 80% completed but is already generating higher small business foot traffic, catalyzing good jobs, spurring affordable housing development, and creating a healthy built environment for community wellness and inclusive prosperity for diverse communities with a trail and path along the rail. 🍽 🏹Hopkins' economic growth is measurably supporting small business! I met the owners @K'kinaco Nikkei and Pisco Bar on Main Street in downtown Hopkins. @Kkinaco represents a business that started up during the historic #startupboom under the #BidenHarrisAdministration that utilized U.S. Small Business Administration financing and is going strong as the state's first Peruvian-Japanese Pisco bar in the region, which is a nod to the large diverse communities in Minnesota.
