Bill > SF841

This bill authorizes an $8,750,000 state bond funding appropriation for a road infrastructure project in Benton County, Minnesota. Specifically, the funds will be used to construct an extension of County State-Aid Highway (CSAH) 29, creating a new roadway connection between CSAH 1 and CSAH 3 as part of the Beltline Corridor project in the St. Cloud area. The bill directs the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to provide the funding, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bonds will be issued up to the amount of $8,750,000, and the bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment. This type of legislation is a typical mechanism for funding local infrastructure improvements through state-backed bond financing, allowing counties to undertake significant transportation projects that might otherwise be financially challenging to complete.
