Stephen; water and sewer infrastructure and street reconstruction improvement funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 602 appropriates $8 million from state bond proceeds to fund infrastructure improvements in the city of Stephen. The funds will directly support the city's replacement of aging water distribution systems, sanitary sewer systems, storm sewers, and reconstruction of city streets. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $8 million in bonds to cover this specific appropriation, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes governing bond sales. This targeted funding is exclusively for Stephen's municipal infrastructure projects, with no broader statewide application. The appropriation becomes effective upon final enactment.
