Construction to replace Line 3 started in December 2020 across 14 Minnesota counties, and it is now complete.

Northern Minnesota has already seen the immediate benefits from the largest privately funded construction project in recent history. Our communities, businesses, and people will continue to see the positive impact through the end of construction and beyond.

Job Creation

5,400 workers during peak construction
Increase in local retail, hospitality, and supplier/manufacturer jobs
$250 Million spent on tribal economic opportunities (well beyond the original $100 Million commitment)

Economic Impact

Significant boost to retail stores, restaurants, hotels, and other small businesses throughout Northern Minnesota
$35 Million annual property tax increase, benefitting local communities

Increased Safety

Replacing aging infrastructure from the 1960s with state-of-the-art technology and thicker pipe
Pipelines are the safest, cleanest way to transport oil, and Line 3 reduces the need to move oil by trains and truck

A Majority of Minnesotans Support Line 3’s Approval and Believe It Has Jumpstarted the Economy

(THIEF RIVER FALLS, MINN) Five months after the start of construction on the Enbridge Line 3 Replacement Project, a majority of Minnesotans not only support the decision to allow it to move forward, a strong majority also believe the project should be allowed to be completed. The findings are from a new American Strategies poll of registered voters in Minnesota that was conducted from April 15 to April 19, 2021.

We can’t afford to wait any longer for Line 3

“It’s long overdue for those making decisions in this state to pause and look at the facts. We cannot afford another appeal. Too much time and taxpayer dollars have been used to repeatedly determine that Line 3 is necessary.

If we do not approve Line 3 and get started soon, the people of Minnesota will deserve an explanation about why the most studied pipeline project in our state’s history – that literally checks every box – was stalled at a time when our economy needs it so much.”

Minnesota needs Line 3 project

“Let’s get one thing clear: Minnesota needs Line 3.

Replacing Line 3 will bring thousands of jobs to our state at a time when we desperately need it. While our legislature stalls on a bonding bill and other forms of relief, how about Governor Walz and his administration making an easy decision to stop delaying a project that will bring thousands of jobs to northern Minnesota?”

Craig Gaasvig, Grand Forks Herald

Nearly six years to replace Line 3 is too long

“My family has farmed in Clearwater County for 85 years. As farmers, we take pride in our land and work hard to take care of the soil and water around us. We also take very seriously planning our farming operations, including rotating our crops and maintaining our equipment.

For 48 years, we’ve hosted six pipelines on our property and have always had a good relationship with the company. In 2014, we received a letter from Enbridge about the company’s intention to replace its Line 3 pipeline. Since that initial letter, we’ve worked with Enbridge on the easement for the replacement pipe and have considered our farming plans to accommodate construction.”

“In trying times like these, you would think local governments would try to work together to get things done. The fact of the matter is, they can’t — or they won’t. The gridlock in our state house is at an all-time high, and neither side seems willing to concede anything to the other. You would think they would care more about the people than these political chess matches; but for the most part, that’s not the case. Minnesota needs jobs more than ever — as well as the hope that things can get better. As we struggle with COVID19, the changes it has forced upon us have left too many of our businesses to drop like flies, with more people applying for unemployment every day.”
