Bill > SF3501

This bill appropriates $5,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the city of St. Paul for capital improvements at the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center. The funding is specifically designated for predesigning, designing, constructing, renovating, furnishing, and equipping the center. The renovation project includes several key components: expanding and renovating program and community spaces, making accessibility improvements in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), implementing energy efficiency upgrades, and addressing major structural and mechanical system improvements to support ongoing operations. The bill emphasizes that, to the extent possible, these capital improvements should preserve the facility's historic and cultural significance. To finance this appropriation, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $5,000,000, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment.
