Bill > SF497

This bill appropriates $37 million in state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority to provide a grant to the city of Albert Lea for comprehensive wastewater treatment facility improvements. The funding will cover design, demolition, construction, and equipment upgrades, including renovation, repairs, and replacement of infrastructure, treatment systems, buildings, and other facility structures. The appropriation will become available once the commissioner of management and budget confirms sufficient resources are committed to complete the project. To finance these improvements, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $37 million, following established state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill's provisions will take effect the day after final enactment, enabling Albert Lea to proceed with critical upgrades to its wastewater treatment infrastructure.
