Bill > SF1087

This bill appropriates $500,000 from state bond proceeds to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for a grant to the city of Faribault for the River Bend Nature Center. The funds will be used for site preparation, and to predesign, design, construct, furnish, and equip a new environmental multicultural visitors center, along with adjacent outdoor public space improvements and trail enhancements. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $500,000 to fund this project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The bill is intended to create new facilities for public education, exhibitions, and visitor experiences at the nature center, with the appropriation subject to existing state financial guidelines. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, providing immediate authorization for the project and bond issuance.
