applicants are required to identify other public and/or private funding sources that will contribute to
the cost of the proposed project.

highways that provide measurable economic benefits. The TED Program may provide funding for
up to 70% of the eligible project costs and applicants are required to identify other public and/or
private funding sources that will be leveraged to contribute to the transportation construction cost of
the proposed project.
The County is also seeking support and partnerships with the business communities along State
Highway 41 and County Highway 18 to support an application for this funding.
Carver County is partnering with MnDOT and the Cities of Chaska and Chanhassen to complete
improvements on State Highway 41 (Hazeltine Boulevard/Chestnut Street N.) and County Highway
18 (Lyman Boulevard) from County Highway 15 (Galpin Boulevard) to a quarter mile west of State
Highway 41.
The County and the Cities of Chaska and Chanhassen will share in the local cost share responsibility
of the applicable parts of the project in accordance with the MnDOT and Carver County Cost
Participation Policy and a prior approved Joint Powers Agreement between Carver County and both
Cities.
