Bill > HF850

This bill provides funding and authorization for capital improvements to County State-Aid Highway 1 (Mayhew Lake Road) in Benton County, Minnesota. Specifically, the bill appropriates $21,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the commissioner of transportation for a grant to Benton County to design, engineer, construct, and reconstruct improvements along a section of the highway between 14th Avenue and 35th Street in the city of Sauk Rapids. The improvements include the construction and reconstruction of six roundabouts and the highway itself. Notably, this appropriation does not require a local matching contribution. To fund this project, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $21,000,000, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, allowing for prompt implementation of the highway improvements.
