PROCEEDINGS OF THE NORTHSTAR WORKSHOP ON FINANCING TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE: INNOVATIVE APPROACHES FOR PUBLIC/PRIVATE COOPERATION, BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA, MAY 6 AND 7, 1986

The Northstar Workshop was attended by about 135 persons drawn from Mn/DOT, other state departments, the Minnesota Legislature, county and municipal agencies, chambers of commerce, developers, and industry. The format of the workshop was one and one-half days of presentations of papers by individuals on the subjects which had been assigned to them, with limited questions and discussion after each one. The proceedings contains transcripts of these presentations. These presentations were followed by group discussions for which the attendees were divided into six groups. Reports of these discussions were made to the full conference by group leaders and a wrap-up was made by Deputy Commissioner Robert McDonald. Following the workshop, Mr. McDonald appointed a committee of Mn/DOT staff to review the innovative approaches for public/private cooperation for financing transportation infrastucture in Minnesota. The committee was charged to make specific recommendations for incorporating public/private funding techniques into the state project development process based on the papers and discussions at the workshop. The report is included in the Executive Summary.
