U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Tina Smith (D-MN) announced that they secured $5-million dollar in funding in the Fiscal Year 2024 federal budget for the Wabasha Resiliency Project.
Â
This grant will be used to reroute Highway 60 to improve flood mitigation.
Â
Additionally, the new route will add new public infrastructure to allow for new residential and commercial developments surrounding it.
Wabasha Mayor Emily Durand says this will mean dangerous semi-traffic can be routed away from residential neighborhoods and address a problematic intersection. Â
