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 ballpark requirements, 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 funding. The bond sale will be conducted in accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day following its final enactment.
