Policy/Data Northern Great Plains Transportation & Trade Study The Northeast-Midwest Institute and the Northern Great Plains Initiative for Rural Development (NGPIRD) completed a three-year project to analyze trade and transportation trends in the Upper Midwest. The analyses forecasted regional, national, and international trends in commodity agriculture, food production and consumption, and manufacturing that may hinder or offer economic opportunities for the region. As part of the Transportation and Trade project, the Northeast-Midwest Institute and NGPIRD developed a corridor planning document for the participating states and Missouri, which were interested in pursuing federal funding for improvements along the Interstate 29 corridor. Under the TEA-21 National Corridor Planning and Development Program and the Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program (commonly known as the Corridors and Borders Program), "Congressionally Designated High Priority Corridors" such as I-29 are eligible for funding to conduct planning, design, and construction activities. Applicants for this program, however, must include a corridor plan with their submission. Reports
