Bill > SF847

This bill provides a $6,962,000 bond appropriation to the Public Facilities Authority specifically for the city of Newport to upgrade its water and sewer infrastructure. The funding will be used to acquire right-of-way and to predesign, design, and construct the removal, replacement, and installation of water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer systems, along with reconstructing affected streets. The project area is precisely defined as 3rd Avenue between 21st and 16th Streets, 2nd Avenue between 17th and 15th Streets, 17th Street between 3rd Avenue and Cedar Lane, and 15th Street between 2nd Avenue and Lift Station No. 1 in Newport. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the appropriated amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The bill will become effective the day after it is finally enacted, enabling the city to proceed with its infrastructure improvements.
