Phase 2 of a multiuse trail to connect Itasca State Park to the Heartland Trail funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 3034 allocates $6.25 million from state bonds to build Phase 2 of a paved multiuse trail connecting Itasca State Park to the Heartland Trail. The funds will cover land acquisition, construction, environmental review, and a trailhead in Emmaville, starting about two miles east of the Heartland Trail's Phase 1 tunnel under Highway 71. This project directly creates a new recreational connection for the public between the two trail systems. The money will be raised through state bond sales as authorized by the bill.
