Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to capital investment; extending an appropriation and bond sale authorization for a U.S. Highway 8 reconstruction project in Chisago County; amending Laws 2020, Fifth Special Session chapter 3, article 1, section 16, subdivision 34.

AI Summary

This bill extends the bond sale authorization and appropriation for the Chisago County U.S. Highway 8 reconstruction project, originally approved in 2020, until December 31, 2029. The project involves reconstructing a segment of U.S. Highway 8 from Karmel Avenue in Chisago City to Interstate 35, including potential expansion to four lanes, constructing or reconstructing frontage and backage roads, and realigning local roads to improve access. The bill also specifies that the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) should apply previously planned resurfacing funds to the reconstruction efforts, supplementing existing appropriations. The extension provides additional time for the county to complete the highway improvement project, which includes plans for pedestrian and bike trails along and crossing this section of the highway. By modifying the original language, the bill ensures that the project can continue to move forward with available funding and extended timelines.
