Olmsted County materials recovery facility improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $3.5 million from state bonds to fund a food waste separation system at Olmsted County's materials recovery facility. The funds will cover designing, constructing, and equipping the system to prepare food waste for recycling at an organic materials management facility. Olmsted County directly benefits as the recipient of the grant through the Pollution Control Agency. The state will issue bonds up to $3.5 million to finance this project, with funds drawn from the bond proceeds fund as authorized under Minnesota law. The project aims to improve organic waste processing infrastructure.
