The Range Gateway Coalition is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to securing improvements to U.S. Highway 169 between Grand Rapids and Virginia, Minnesota. Our coalition brings together local governments, businesses, chambers of commerce, nonprofits, individuals, and other groups from throughout northern Minnesota with the shared goal of making Highway 169 a safe and efficient route for everyone who travels throughout the Iron Range.

The Coalition works closely with legislators, state agencies, and other stakeholders to secure state funds to support planning and construction along the Highway 169 corridor.
