Supporting Businesses

Light rail creates exciting opportunities for local businesses. It can connect them to more customers and workers and support their plans for growth. It can also attract new businesses that serve the community. Light rail construction also presents short-term challenges. Blue Line Extension project partners have a long history of supporting businesses to help them prepare for these opportunities and challenges and set them up for long-term success.

The planned METRO Blue Line Extension will connect customers, employees and investment to area businesses. To help businesses prepare for light rail construction and opportunities, Hennepin County and Met Council plan to work with a wide variety of local partners to provide support and technical assistance.
