Bill > SB00909

This bill authorizes the State Bond Commission to issue up to $10 million in state bonds to provide a grant to the town of Columbia for improvements to Doubleday Road. The bond funding, which will be issued in accordance with existing state financial statutes (specifically section 3-20), can be used for various road-related enhancements including drainage work, bridge repairs, and roadbed improvements. The bill represents a specific infrastructure investment aimed at upgrading a local roadway, with the State Department of Transportation serving as the mechanism for providing the grant funds to the town. By allowing the state to issue bonds for this purpose, the legislation provides a mechanism for financing local infrastructure projects without immediately requiring full upfront payment from state or local budgets.
