Bill > SF2799

This bill appropriates $6.5 million in state bond proceeds to Ramsey County for improvements to the Aldrich Arena, with the goal of transforming the facility into a regional and statewide event center. The funds will specifically be used for predesign, design, and construction of facility and site improvements. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $6.5 million amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill's provisions would take effect immediately after final enactment, enabling Ramsey County to proceed with renovation plans for the arena. By providing state funding for this local infrastructure project, the bill aims to enhance the arena's capabilities and potentially improve its utility as a community and event space.
