The bill proposes an appropriation of $8,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development for a grant to the city of St. Paul. This funding is designated for the predesign, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of improvements at CHS Field. The improvements aim to upgrade the facility's infrastructure to meet Major League Baseball standards, which includes the construction of a new locker room, enhanced visitor amenities, and environmental remediation of contaminated soil.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $8,000,000 to provide the necessary funds for these improvements. The provisions for the bond sale will follow the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
