The bill appropriates $6,000,000 from the parks and trails fund for the construction of the Root River State Trail, specifically from the city of Preston to Carimona. This funding is designated for fiscal year 2027 and is a one-time appropriation, which will remain available until June 30, 2028.
The bill aims to enhance the state's recreational infrastructure by supporting the development of this trail, which is part of Minnesota's broader commitment to improving parks and trails for public use and enjoyment. The appropriation is directed to the commissioner of natural resources, who will oversee the construction project in accordance with existing state statutes.
