The bill appropriates $2,900,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2027 to the commissioner of transportation for local road and infrastructure improvements in the area surrounding Rogers, Minnesota. The funds are designated for activities related to planning and preparing for a new river crossing, as well as future enhancements to road and transportation infrastructure within a specified boundary that includes marked Trunk Highway 101, U.S. Highway 10, U.S. Highway 169, marked Trunk Highway 610, and marked Interstate Highway 94.
The appropriation covers several key activities, including planning and evaluation, environmental analysis, and design work necessary for the river crossing and related infrastructure improvements. It also includes the completion of required environmental impact statements and assessments of how these improvements will affect local infrastructure systems such as water, wastewater, and stormwater. Notably, this appropriation does not require any contribution of nonstate funds and will take effect the day after final enactment.
