Bill > HF1921

This bill provides $55 million in state bond funding for a transportation infrastructure project to reconstruct a section of Trunk Highway 55 in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Specifically, the bill appropriates funds for right-of-way acquisition, engineering, and construction to expand Trunk Highway 55 into a four-lane divided highway. The project will extend from near Arrowhead Drive (Hennepin County Road 118) in the city of Medina to Hennepin County State-Aid Highway 19 near the city of Loretto. To finance this project, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $55 million, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The bond proceeds will be deposited into the trunk highway fund's bond proceeds account, with the section becoming effective immediately after final enactment. This bill represents a significant investment in improving transportation infrastructure in the western suburban area of the Twin Cities metropolitan region.
