    • Abstract:
      Located in Minnesota's Lakes Region, Perham is a small city of 2,900 residents that serves as a regional economic center. Approximately 3,000 jobs comprise the manufacturing and healthcare sectors, which include several large businesses and a new hospital at the intersection of U.S. Highway 10 and County Highway 34 on the outskirts of town. Perham is also a lively stop for vacationing drivers. Given the number of workers traveling into town each day as well as its proximity to numerous vacation destinations, Perham has taken steps to make its downtown more attractive and welcoming. To do so, Perham had to address an increasingly incompatible combination of industrial and leisure traffic. Nearly 1,200 tractor-trailers traveled through small, pedestrian-oriented downtown Perham each week. The new hospital (Perham Health) is located close to an existing highway overpass, but the lack of a nearby on- or off-ramp meant that ambulances had to travel through the city center, challenging response times as well as efforts to enhance the quality of life downtown. While the relationship between the local government, business, and residential stakeholders in Perham was already positive, additional coordination with State and Federal agencies was required to fund and carefully design a transportation solution that advanced Perham's economic role in the region while enhancing its quality of life. City leaders also anticipated challenges in using traditional funding sources for a project tailored to the specific economic needs of such a small city.
