Bill > SF306

This bill appropriates $10 million from the state's general fund to the Public Facilities Authority in fiscal year 2026 to provide a grant to the First District Association, a dairy cooperative in Litchfield, Minnesota. The grant is specifically designated to support the design, engineering, construction, equipping, and furnishing of a new wastewater industrial pretreatment facility. The bill notes that this appropriation is in addition to a previous appropriation for the same purpose made in 2023, and will become effective immediately after its final enactment. An industrial pretreatment facility is a specialized treatment plant that helps industrial wastewater meet regulatory standards before it is discharged into municipal sewer systems, which is particularly important for industries like dairy processing that generate significant wastewater with potential environmental impact.
