The existing formula for local government aid fails to recognize the changing realities of Minnesota communities. Many first and second ring suburbs fall in an LGA dead zone where our housing is not old enough to count in the formula, but our physical and social infrastructure is in need of investment.
City | Population | 2025 LGA |
Duluth | 87,063 | $35,231,196 |
Mankato | 45,742 | $8,487,451 |
Brooklyn Park | 82,017 | $917,834 |
Coon Rapids | 63,599 | $830,406 |
Champlin | 23,045 | $0 |
