Merriam Junction Regional Trail segment funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 466 appropriates $7.3 million from state bonds to fund a 4.3-mile segment of the Merriam Junction Regional Trail in Scott County. The money will be used by Scott County to acquire property, design, and build the Louisville Segment, connecting Louisville Swamp Trailhead to Big Woods Trail in Shakopee. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds up to $7.3 million to cover these costs, following standard bond procedures. This directly affects Scott County (as the recipient) and future trail users in the Louisville and Shakopee areas. The funding is for physical trail construction, not administrative or maintenance costs.
