Dakota County regional household hazardous waste and recycling facility bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $8 million in state bond proceeds to fund a new regional facility in Dakota County for processing household hazardous waste and recycling for both Dakota and Scott Counties. The funds will be granted to a joint powers entity formed by the two counties to construct and equip the facility, which must serve residents and businesses from both counties. The state will issue up to $8 million in bonds under Minnesota law to cover this appropriation. The facility will replace or supplement existing waste processing services specifically for household hazardous materials and recyclables.
