Bill > HF270

This bill provides $3,000,000 in state funding specifically for constructing a noise barrier along the south side of U.S. Highway 10 in Anoka, Minnesota, extending from Fairoak Avenue to the interchange at West Main Street and Greenhaven Road. To finance this project, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $3,000,000 amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes sections 167.50 to 167.52 and the state constitution. The bond proceeds will be deposited into the trunk highway fund's bond proceeds account, with the exception of any accrued interest or premium from the bond sale. The bill is designed to provide a specific infrastructure improvement to reduce highway noise for nearby residents in the Anoka area, and will become effective immediately after being enacted. This targeted appropriation and bonding approach allows for the immediate funding of a localized transportation noise mitigation project without requiring broader legislative budget negotiations.
