REP. PATTI FRITZ ROLLS OUT PHASE III OF FARIBAULT PRISON BONDING BILL Phase 3 slated for $16 million
State Rep. Patti Fritz's legislation to fund Phase III of the Correctional Facility in Faribault took its first step forward on Thursday when she introduced it in the Public Safety Committee.
This bill would appropriate $16, 400, and is a continuation of the expansion of the Faribault facility to deal with the increasing offender population. It includes an intake/receiving/warehouse/watch security center building and the demolition of two housing units.
"This bill represents another step in the work we started in 2005 when I first came into office," said Fritz. "We have invested well over $100 million in safety, security and jobs for our community, and I believe it has been money well spent."
The bill now moves to the Capital Investment Committee, where it will be considered for inclusion in this year's bonding bill. The State Legislature is on a fast pace to pass this bill quickly, which is estimated to jump-start the economy by creating as many as 10 thousand jobs.
