“State of Repair: Industries of Constant Motion,” a video co-produced by Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) and Minnesota 2050, began airing in January. Frank Douma, associate director of the Humphrey School’s State and Local Policy Program, served as an expert resource for and is featured in the video. Douma also is a researcher with the U’s Transportation Policy and Economic Competitiveness Program.
The new video travels the Mississippi River in St. Paul, films on the shoreline of Lake Superior, visits numerous airports, and catches glimpses of trains to learn how ports, rail, and airports keep Minnesotans and Minnesota’s economy moving. It is one of three 26-minute videos co-produced by MN2050 and TPT on the infrastructure future in our state. “State of Repair: Liquid Assets” also began airing in January; “State of Repair: Roads & Bridges” began airing in September 2014. All three are available for viewing on the TPT website.
Minnesota 2050 is a collaborative, nonprofit partnership for infrastructure advocacy.
