Goodhue County new regional wastewater treatment facility bond issuance and appropriation

This bill appropriates $44.8 million from state bond proceeds to fund a new regional wastewater treatment facility in Goodhue County. The funds will support the North Zumbro Sanitary District (serving Zumbrota, Goodhue, Pine Island, and Wanamingo) and connect to Pine Island's infrastructure to serve the Prairie Island Indian Community's Elk Run settlement lands. It authorizes the state to issue up to $44.8 million in bonds to cover design, construction, and necessary infrastructure improvements for the facility. The project aims to create a state-of-the-art regional wastewater treatment prototype for the specified communities.
