U.S. Rep Angie Craig Announces $330,750 to Increase Domestic Biofuels in Lakeville

Lakeville, MN – Today, U.S. Representative Angie Craig announced $330,750 in federal grant funding for the Mega Stop Inc., a truck stop in Lakeville, to help expand their access to homegrown biofuels.

This funding comes as a Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentives Program grant, which is part of a $239 million investment, made in the Inflation Reduction Act, to increase the availability of domestic biofuels in 18 states and give Americans cleaner, more affordable fuel options. 

“Bolstering domestic biofuel production supports Minnesota’s family farmers and lowers prices at the pump for working Minnesotans – it's a win-win for everybody,” said Rep. Craig. “I was proud to work to pass the Inflation Reduction Act and I’ll keep working to invest in the all-of-the-above energy approach we need to lower energy costs and combat climate change.”

The Inflation Reduction Act, which passed in 2022 with Rep. Craig’s support, made the largest investment ever in homegrown biofuels infrastructure.
