What roles do the City of Wadena and Wadena County play?
Representatives from the city, county and other local governments such as townships, have been invited to sit on the Policy/Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), a group that meets regularly to review on-going work on the DEIS and on the development of the proposed roadway alignments. These representatives will update their respective groups and bring comments from them to the PTAC meetings as the project proceeds. The decision on a Preferred Alternative will be made by Mn/DOT, with the concurrence of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Local governments may offer comments as part of the public participation process, and Mn/DOT and FHWA will consider these comments in their decision making.
