Hermantown; water, sewer, and utility improvements funding provided; bonds issued; and money appropriated.

HF 3309 appropriates $10 million from state bond proceeds to fund infrastructure improvements in Hermantown, specifically targeting aging water, sewer, and utility systems in the city's southwest area. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $10 million in bonds to provide a grant to Hermantown for predesign, design, construction, and equipment related to rehabilitating and replacing these systems. This funding directly supports the city's efforts to address failing infrastructure, including drinking water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer networks. The legislation enables Hermantown to upgrade critical public utilities without immediate local tax increases, using state bond financing.
