(KNSI) – State senators will be touring central Minnesota next week as they hear from local officials about potential bonding bill projects.
The legislators will pull into St. Augusta on Wednesday, November 12th, to hear about water system improvements. They’ll then loop out to the western end of the state, stopping in Little Falls before looping out to East Grand Forks and Crookston.
On the 13th, they’ll come back through the area. In St. Joseph, they’ll tour the Northland Business Center, where it will cost over $6 million to put in water, sewer, street, and storm sewer improvements at the industrial park. In St. Cloud, they intend to look at a proposal to redevelop 5th Avenue South in downtown, and they’ll hear from the 180 Degrees Youth Shelter.
Lawmakers will take the information and individual packages will eventually be drafted in the house and senate, with a third put forth by the Walz Administration, regarding which projects are included in the bonding bill. No bonding package was passed in 2024 or 2022.
