SF 1456 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Jimmy Lee Recreation Center bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $5.7 million from state bond proceeds to fund a new recreation facility at the Jimmy Lee Recreation Center in St. Paul's Rondo community. The funds will cover predesign, design, and construction costs for the new facility, administered through the city of St. Paul via the commissioner of employment and economic development. It authorizes the state to sell bonds up to $5.7 million to cover this cost, following standard bond procedures under Minnesota law. The project directly serves residents of the Rondo neighborhood, which has historically faced limited recreational infrastructure.
