The Minnesota legislature has specified that $100 million in state funding for the project will be rescinded if the federal agreement is not secured by Jan. 31. Contracts to build the line and the rail cars have been signed contingent upon receipt of the federal funds. In addition to the federal and state funding, the Hiawatha project's overall budget includes money from Hennepin County and the Metropolitan Airports Commission. The Met Council will own and operate the line.
