Bill > HF206

This bill provides $6,000,000 in state bond funding to the Metropolitan Council for a specific infrastructure project in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. The funding is designated to design and construct a 2.25-mile multiuse trail along the southern edge of Vadnais Lake, with the goals of improving safety, providing scenic access to natural areas, and enhancing regional connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes sections 16A.631 to 16A.675 and in accordance with the Minnesota Constitution. The bonds will be issued up to the amount of $6,000,000, and the bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment. This type of legislation is common for funding specific local infrastructure improvements through state-issued bonds, which allows municipalities to undertake significant capital projects with state financial support.
