The upcoming Blatnik Bridge Replacement Project will have significant impact on our city and business community. The SBID has taken on an advocacy role with the project to ensure that our businesses are well prepared and informed for all stages of the project. To that end, the SBID has been working to form relationships with business, transportation and government leaders in both Wisconsin and Minnesota to ensure our District is well represented and engaged in the process. The SBID will be providing regular communication to stakeholders and the community regarding the project status.

Stay tuned to this page for more information regarding project updates, community meetings/input sessions, business resources and promotional opportunities.
