The two 2025 Innovation is Local Award plaques

Two Minnesota Build a Better Mousetrap Award winners will need to make more room in their trophy cases following the 40th Annual Local Road Conference in October 2025 in Sioux Falls, which is co-sponsored by NDLTAP and SDLTAP

The City of Stacy’s Front-Mounted Ditch Mower and Nicollet County’s Portable Ground Force Sign Puller were each recognized with Innovation Is Local Awards at the conference’s general session presentation. The projects were submitted by MnLTAP after winning awards at Minnesota’s Build a Better Mousetrap Competition in 2025
