Minnesota Avenue Construction. Color photo of a view to the north from the intersection of South Minnesota Avenue and West Nassau Street showing the west side of the 200 block of the avenue in St. Peter. The photo was taken in July of 2010. It includes Julee's Jewelry shop (222 S. Minnesota Ave.) and other businesses. The Nicollet Hotel and the Nicollet Plaza are in the distance. A portion of the Godfather's Pizza building can be seen on the right. Included in the scene are orange traffic control cones and barrels, several large, concrete culverts, earth compacting equipment, and two backhoes for digging trenches. The Nicollet Hotel is slightly to the right of the center of the photo. A similar 2006 view is at ED1817. This part of Minnesota Avenue was renovated during the summer of 2010, partially funded with $16.5 million of 'stimulus' funds from the federal government to stimulate the economy during a recession that began at the end of 2008.
