Bill > HF204

This bill appropriates $7,000,000 from the state bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of natural resources to provide a grant to the Rice Creek Watershed District for flood hazard mitigation projects along the Interstate Highway 35W corridor. The funding will specifically support constructing water storage and treatment basins and improving water conveyance systems to address flooding issues in the cities of New Brighton, St. Anthony Village, and Roseville. To secure these funds, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $7,000,000 amount, following established state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill's provisions will become effective immediately after final enactment, enabling the watershed district to proceed with critical flood mitigation infrastructure improvements that will help protect these local communities from potential water-related damage.
