Bill > SF1960

This bill appropriates $6.5 million in state bond proceeds to support the construction of a new National Loon Center in Crosslake, Minnesota. The funding will be used to build a new facility and adjacent outdoor public spaces, including parking areas, which will serve as a visitor center, educational hub, and exhibition space for the general public. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $6.5 million amount to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, enabling the city of Crosslake to proceed with the National Loon Center development. This legislation represents a state investment in a local cultural and educational facility focused on loons, which are iconic birds in Minnesota's natural environment.
