Building the proposed Northern Lights Express (NLX) line from Target Field Station in Minneapolis to Union Depot in Duluth will economically invigorate individuals and families living along the Interstate 35 corridor, allowing for cheaper commuting, more affordable housing and a revitalization of rural areas along the extensive route. The NLX is not a one-and-done construction project.
