Governor Tim Walz kicked off a statewide tour highlighting proposed infrastructure projects ahead of the 2024 legislative session.

Walz is getting a closer look at one of the bonding projects being proposed in the next session, a much-needed upgrade to St. Paul College that would help modernize the school.


St. Paul College President Deidra Peaslee says the outside of the building will remain the same, but inside the school will receive a makeover.

“Classrooms will become more flexible, better for teaching our students. Our services will be much easier to access. We’ll be able to actually address our students’ needs in a much more strategic way,” Peaslee said.

Walz says after the last session’s historic investment they hope to build on that success and complete projects that have long been ignored.

“You have to have a long-term plan. You can’t keep going the way we were,” Walz said.

On his tour, Walz will be joined by the Minnesota Building and Construction Trades Council president, Dan McConnell.
