Bill > SF1257

This bill appropriates $8 million from the Minnesota state general fund to the commissioner of transportation in fiscal year 2026 for a specific infrastructure project in the city of Eveleth. The funding is designated for grants to St. Louis County to support the Progress Parkway project, which includes multiple phases of development such as predesign, design, engineering, environmental analysis and mitigation, land acquisition, construction, and road reconstruction. The project will specifically involve improving intersections and realigning and extending the roadway from U.S. Highway 53 and County State-Aid Highway 142 to Trunk Highway 37 and Station 44 Road. This appropriation supplements a previous allocation from a 2023 law and is considered a one-time funding that will be available until June 30, 2029, providing the county with several years to complete the roadway improvements.
