Bill > HF2886

This bill provides a one-time appropriation of $4 million from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) specifically for designing and constructing the final segment of the Glacial Lakes Trail. The trail segment will connect the city of New London to Sibley State Park, completing a trail route established under Minnesota Statutes. The funding is available until the project is either completed or abandoned, following standard state financial guidelines. The bill specifies that the appropriation will be effective the day after it is officially enacted, and the funds are designated for fiscal year 2026. This appropriation represents a targeted capital investment in local recreational infrastructure, aimed at extending and completing a regional trail system that will provide recreational opportunities for residents and potentially boost local tourism.
