Bill > SF101

This bill appropriates $44.8 million in state bond proceeds to fund the creation of a new regional wastewater treatment facility in Goodhue County, Minnesota. The facility will serve a joint powers sanitary district comprising the cities of Zumbrota, Goodhue, Pine Island, and Wanamingo, and is specifically designed to be a state-of-the-art prototype regional wastewater treatment system. A notable aspect of the project is that it will provide wastewater treatment service for the Elk Run settlement lands of the Prairie Island Indian Community, connecting to existing infrastructure in Pine Island. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to finance the project, which includes funding for infrastructure improvements needed to connect the new facility to the participating communities. The appropriation covers design, engineering, permitting, construction, and equipment costs for the new facility. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, enabling the sanitary district to proceed with developing this regional wastewater treatment infrastructure.
