SF1234

Senate Bill No. 1234 is a proposal for allocating funds towards improvements in downtown Wayzata, specifically the lakeshore area. The bill suggests using $14,915,000 from state bonds to assist the city of Wayzata in acquiring and developing real estate along the lakefront. The plan includes creating an eco-park, restoring historical sites like the Section Foreman House and Wayzata Depot, enhancing the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka, upgrading Wayzata Beach and Klapprich Park, and designing new public safety facilities to support the area. The funding will be managed by the Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development and requires the issuance of state bonds by the Commissioner of Management and Budget as outlined in existing Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. This bill builds on previous appropriations made in 2020 for this project.
