Newport; water and sewer infrastructure funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 652 appropriates $5,162,000 from state bond proceeds to fund water, sewer, and storm sewer infrastructure replacement in Newport, Minnesota. The funds will support the city's project to remove, replace, and install systems along specific streets: 3rd Avenue between 14th and 12th Streets, 2nd Avenue between 15th and 11th Streets, Cedar Lane between 15th Street and 2nd Avenue, and 12th Avenue west of 4th Avenue. The state will issue bonds up to this amount to cover the costs, with the money directed to the Public Facilities Authority for a grant to Newport. This directly affects Newport residents by upgrading aging infrastructure in the designated project areas.
