Hutchinson; Phase 2 of lake restoration funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill appropriates $3.5 million from Minnesota's clean water fund for Phase 2 of lake restoration in Hutchinson. The funds will go directly to the city of Hutchinson to finance capital improvements at Otter Lake, Campbell Lake, and the south fork of the Crow River, including predesign, engineering, construction, and a forebay installation. The project aims to improve water quality by addressing tributaries and lake systems. This is a funding authorization with no new regulatory requirements, solely providing state financial support for existing restoration work.
