Bill > HF196

This bill appropriates $4,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the Metropolitan Council to provide a grant to Dakota County for improvements to Thompson County Park. The funding will specifically support outdoor recreation accessibility and inclusivity projects, including the creation of an immersive nature play area, new picnic and gathering spaces, park entrance safety and wayfinding enhancements, a ravine overlook, and upgrades to existing trails. To finance these improvements, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $4,000,000, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, enabling Dakota County to proceed with the park improvements aimed at making the recreational space more accessible and engaging for visitors.
