Southwest Transitway Alliance

 

Four local chambers of commerce representing southwest metro area businesses have recently formed a business collaboration called the Southwest Transitway Alliance to promote the development of a Southwest LRT line. The TwinWest Chamber of Commerce, the Eden Prairie Chamber, the Minneapolis Regional Chamber, and the Edina Chamber have joined together to provide a unified business voice for the project.


One of the Alliance’s first tasks will be to use our business clout to gain approval of a legislative funding request to pay for a portion of the next study phase, the preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). The Alliance also will work to educate the business community and public about this important project and to build broader coalition support over time.

Get involved in a thriving business organization that is committed to your success and the success of our communities!  Learn more about member benefits:  click here.

"[TwinWest] bring[s] the candidates here, they bring the elected officials here, they bring the folks who are going to impact them, and their voice is heard. It's heard in their questions, their comments and their advocacy."

U.S. Senator Norm Coleman
