Bill > HF432

This bill appropriates $8 million from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Department of Transportation in fiscal year 2026 to support the Progress Parkway project in Eveleth, Minnesota. Specifically, the funding will be provided as a grant to St. Louis County to support various stages of the roadway project, including predesign, design, engineering, environmental analysis, land acquisition, construction, and reconstruction. The project aims to improve intersections and realign and extend the road from U.S. Highway 53 and County State-Aid Highway 142 to Trunk Highway 37 and Station 44 Road. This appropriation is in addition to a previous funding allocation for the same project from the 2023 legislative session. The funds are designated as a one-time appropriation and will be available until June 30, 2029, providing the county with several years to complete the roadway improvements.
