Deal Will Bring Projects to Communities Across the State that Will Contribute to the Economy and Strengthen Minnesota’s Water, Transit, and Education Infrastructure
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Senate Capital Investment Committee Chair Senator Sandy Pappas (DFL-St. Paul) will champion her landmark legislation on the Senate floor after DFL leadership reached a deal with the Senate GOP to pass legislation (HF 669 and HF 670) to improve and expand upon Minnesota’s state assets, including road and bridge projects, water and waste treatment improvements, construction on state colleges and universities, local governments, and funding for proven community groups and nonprofits. Senator Pappas, who is chief author of these bills that will deliver $2.6 billion for infrastructure projects, will present the bills to the Senate in the coming days in order to bring thousands of well-paying jobs to Minnesota, in addition to the economic opportunities offered by the projects themselves.
