HF209

This legislative bill, sponsored by representatives including Hill, Curran, Hansen, R. Hemmingsen, Jaeger, Lillie, and others, focuses on capital investment for the Browns Creek State Trail. It proposes to allocate $3,000,000 from state bond proceeds to fund construction. Specifically, the money will be used to build a trail connection between County State Aid Highway 5 and the existing Browns Creek State Trail, as well as to improve an overlook and viewing area of the historic Point Douglas-Saint Louis River Road Bridge. To finance these improvements, the state will issue bonds worth up to $3,000,000, based on established Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The bill has been referred to the Committee on Capital Investment for further consideration.
