Mesabi Trail segment relocation funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 1787 appropriates $3 million from state bond proceeds to fund the relocation of a segment of the Mesabi Trail in Mountain Iron. The funds will be provided to the St. Louis and Lake Counties Regional Railroad Authority to predesign, design, engineer, and construct a new trail segment with a pedestrian bridge, addressing a permanent closure of County State-Aid Highway 102. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $3 million in bonds to cover this cost, following standard state bond procedures. This directly affects the regional railroad authority and trail users in the Mountain Iron area by enabling the trail relocation project.
