SAINT PAUL, Minn.— The House Capital Investment Division approved the DFL Majority’s package of public works projects this week. The legislation includes $1.5 billion in General Obligation bonds that makes significant investments in every corner of our state to help Minnesotans and their communities.
“Our comprehensive and geographically balanced bonding proposal will connect Minnesotans across the state and fix the ongoing infrastructure problems,” said Chair Mary Murphy (DFL-Hermantown). “With a positive state budget forecast and with bond interest rates still low, now is the time to make these fiscally responsible investments.”
These investments cover a wide range of issues that include but are not limited to: ensuring children can get to school safely; fixing incomplete road connections; honoring Minnesota veterans; ensuring access to clean water; caring for our natural resources; making updates to colleges and universities; preserving state assets; and delivering local economies the support they need to thrive. A spreadsheet of the bill’s contents can be found here.
