Related bill: HF1642

AI Generated Summary

This bill, S.F. No. 2058, proposes appropriating $35 million from bond proceeds in Minnesota’s trunk highway fund for the U.S. Highway 10 freeway conversion project in Sherburne County. The funds will be used for design, engineering, environmental analysis, land acquisition, and construction work to convert a portion of U.S. Highway 10 into a freeway. Phase 1 of the project includes constructing an interchange at U.S. Highway 10 and Sherburne County State-Aid Highway 8 (15th Avenue SE) in St. Cloud, along with other related improvements. Any unspent funds may be used for Phase 2 highway improvements.

To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the Minnesota Commissioner of Management and Budget to sell and issue up to $35 million in state bonds, in accordance with Minnesota’s statutory and constitutional provisions. The proceeds from bond sales will be deposited into the bond proceeds account within the trunk highway fund.
