This bill proposes a capital investment in Washington County for the establishment of a regional facility dedicated to processing wood waste and diseased trees. It appropriates $4,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Pollution Control Agency, which will provide a grant to Washington County for the acquisition of land and the design, construction, and equipping of the facility aimed at converting wood waste into high-value, sustainable products.

To fund this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $4,000,000, following the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the Minnesota Constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
