SUMMARY

By Resolution No. 23-444 (September 26, 2023), the County Board authorized staff to submit the draft CIP to cities and townships for comment. Dakota County sent a letter to the cities and townships requesting their comments by November 17, 2023. Comments that were received to those letters are included in the attachment 2024-2028 CIP Comments and Responses Summary.
