Bill > HF4652

This bill provides $9 million in funding from state bonds to the city of Carver for capital improvements to restore the Carver Levee, which protects an important historic district from flood waters of the Minnesota River. The project includes raising the height of the levee, constructing internal drainage, establishing maintainable setbacks to adjacent structures, and achieving FEMA certification. The city will contribute $2.15 million in non-state funding, and this appropriation does not require a non-state match in recognition of the $1.2 million the city has already spent on related flood protection efforts since 2016.
