The bill appropriates $3,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development for a grant to the city of West St. Paul. This funding is designated for the construction, furnishing, and equipping of improvements to the 150 Thompson Community Square, which will include an enclosed pavilion for public and private events, an outdoor performance stage, and a turf area that can be converted into an ice rink.
To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $3,000,000, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
