Streets.mn is a site that “fosters positive connections and inclusive conversations about better places in Minnesota.” They’re looking for writers, storytellers, photographers to research and write articles for Minnesota Historical Society grant:
“The grant seeks to deepen our community reporting on highway development and how the named highways have impacted the communities they are built through.
There are four topic areas we are seeking story ideas for, but we’re open to others you may have in mind, as long as they are highways built through a city or area since the 1950s in suburban and Greater Minnesota that have not had significant coverage.
- U.S. Route 14 between New Ulm and Rochester
- State Highway 36 to Stillwater
- State Highway 3 through Northfield
- U.S. Route 52 through West St. Paul”
Pay is $1,000 per project, to be split between the storyteller and photographer. To learn more, refer to their post and this page.
