Washington County; road improvements funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 1196 appropriates $22.5 million from state bond proceeds to fund the realignment of County Road 19A and 100th Street South in Cottage Grove, Washington County. The bill authorizes the state to sell bonds up to this amount under Minnesota bonding laws to finance the road design and construction project. This funding directly affects Washington County residents and commuters who use these specific roads, improving infrastructure in the Cottage Grove area. The bill does not change existing laws but provides dedicated funding for a defined local infrastructure project.
