Bill > HF220

This bill provides $8,500,000 in state bond funding for improvements to the Winona municipal wastewater treatment facility. Specifically, the bill appropriates money from the state bond proceeds fund to the Public Facilities Authority, which will then provide a grant to the city of Winona to predesign, design, construct, and equip upgrades to the existing wastewater treatment facility. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $8,500,000 to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill's provisions become effective immediately after it is enacted, allowing the city to proceed with planned improvements to its wastewater infrastructure. This type of legislative action is common for funding critical municipal infrastructure projects that require significant upfront capital investment.
