St. Paul; Rondo Restorative Development Authority established for operations of a land bridge in the Rondo neighborhood.

HF 2984 establishes the Rondo Restorative Development Authority to govern a land bridge project in St. Paul's Rondo neighborhood. The authority, managed by a 17-member board with specific community and city appointments, will handle property transfers, development, and operations of the land bridge within the designated area. This bill directly affects the Rondo community, addressing historical impacts from I-94's construction in the 1950s that displaced homes and businesses. The key mechanism creates a new public body to oversee the project's long-term development and community ownership. The authority will operate under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 116J, with governance rules outlined in the bill.
