Rochester; riverfront public realm and redevelopment funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 380 appropriates $1 million from state bonds to fund pre-design planning for public improvements along Rochester's riverfront. The grant will support projects like trail upgrades, tree planting, public wayfinding, and amenities near the Government Center and Zumbro River, as outlined in the city's Riverfront Area Wide Plan. The state will issue bonds to cover the cost, following standard bond procedures under Minnesota law. This funding is specifically for planning and design work, not for construction.
