West St. Paul; community square improvement funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 218 appropriates $3 million from state bonds to fund specific improvements at West St. Paul's 150 Thompson Community Square. The funds will finance an enclosed pavilion for public/private events, an outdoor performance stage, and a convertible turf area that can be used as an ice rink. The city of West St. Paul will receive the grant through the commissioner of employment and economic development. This bill directly affects West St. Paul residents by enhancing community space infrastructure through state-funded construction.
