Submitted by Peter J. Nelson

Line 3 construction has finally begun, and it is exciting to see such positive momentum in Northern Minnesota. From operating engineers, to laborers, to Teamsters drivers, thousands of workers are now on the job to complete this project over the course of 2021. For the workers, this means consistent work after a year that has been slower than normal. For many, it means that they can work closer to home and spend more time with their families. For businesses in the area, the influx of workers is keeping stores, restaurants, and hotels busy, showing hope in a year of COVID restrictions and a decrease in tourism.
