 Minnesotans are digging out from a potent early-winter storm that brought heavy snow, slick roads, and widespread school delays across the state. Minnesota Public Radio News reports that the system delivered a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, prompting dozens of districts to delay start times and making travel hazardous on highways and city streets. Minnesota State Patrol is also assisting in the investigation of a deadly crash at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport linked to the storm, according to CBS Minnesota.

At the Capitol, the state’s fiscal outlook is drawing growing attention. Minnesota Management and Budget’s November forecast, summarized by Session Daily from the Minnesota House of Representatives, shows a projected 2.47 billion dollar surplus for the current 2026–27 budget period but a nearly 2.96 billion dollar deficit in the following biennium, putting pressure on lawmakers to balance new spending with long-term sustainability. House leaders highlight upcoming hearings on fraud prevention, data practices, and oversight of state agencies, according to the Minnesota Legislature’s combined calendar.

In the economy, job growth and capital investment remain bright spots. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development announces 1.4 million dollars in expansion grants to three manufacturers expected to create 86 new jobs and leverage over 20 million dollars in private investment statewide, including projects by Zero Zone Refrigeration in Ramsey, Winnebago Manufacturing in Blue Earth, and Rolls-Royce Solutions America in Mankato. Finance & Commerce reports that these expansions underscore continued strength in advanced manufacturing. At the same time, a recent state budget presentation carried by Minnesota Senate Media Services notes slowing revenue growth and warns that future deficits could complicate economic planning.

Communities across Minnesota are seeing visible change. Finance & Commerce reports a 23.45 million dollar remodel and addition at Highland Park Middle School in St. Paul, adding new classrooms, collaboration spaces, and upgraded facilities funded through local capital levies. In West St. Paul, city leaders have approved a 145 million dollar redevelopment expected to add 476 homes along with new commercial space and public amenities, reflecting a broader regional push for more housing. Ramsey County officials report that construction has begun on the first phase of Rice Creek Commons in Arden Hills, a 427-acre redevelopment of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant with an estimated 1 billion dollar build-out value, signaling long-term investment in housing, jobs, and infrastructure.

Looking Ahead, listeners can expect continued legislative debate over closing the projected out-year deficit, new discussions about fraud oversight and data privacy at the Capitol, further community engagement on downtown St. Paul redevelopment, and close monitoring of additional winter storms as the season intensifies across Minnesota.
