Bill > SF1828

This bill appropriates $4,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the Metropolitan Council, specifically for a grant to Dakota County to fund improvements at Thompson County Park. The park improvements are focused on enhancing outdoor recreation accessibility and inclusivity, and include specific project elements such as creating an immersive nature play area, developing new picnic and gathering spaces, improving park entrance safety and wayfinding, adding a ravine overlook, and upgrading park trails to be more accessible. To finance these improvements, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $4,000,000, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, providing Dakota County with funding to proceed with these park enhancement projects.
