Critical Corridors Programs

Contact us

Ramsey County's Critical Corridors programs offer assistance to qualifying public, private and nonprofit organizations for place-based investments along major transportation, commercial and cultural corridors. The programs are fully funded by the Housing Redevelopment Authority (HRA) levy. Eligible projects or activities seeking funding must align with the county's Economic Competitiveness & Inclusion Plan and Equitable Development Framework.

Goals

  • Boost connectivity between housing, jobs, retail, services and transportation. 
  • Create more compact, walkable environments.
  • Enhance pedestrian access and safety. ​
  • Support vibrant business districts.
