Bill > HF3153

This bill provides $10,000,000 in state bond funding to the Metropolitan Council for a grant to the city of St. Paul to develop the Mississippi River Learning Center project at Crosby Farm Regional Park. The funding will be used to construct, furnish, and equip marina buildings and make surrounding site improvements, including site preparation, trails, vehicular access, and marina amenities. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to provide the funding, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. This appropriation is in addition to a previous appropriation for the same project made in the 2023 legislative session. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, and the bond proceeds will be subject to existing state financial regulations, specifically Minnesota Statutes section 16A.695, which likely governs the use of state bond funds for capital improvement projects.
