ST. PAUL, Minn. — On Sunday, the Minnesota Senate passed over $1.2 billion in bonds and $45 million in general fund spending for local infrastructure needs across the state – including nearly $10 million for the Senate District 39 area.
“I’m incredibly thankful that we were able to address all of these vital needs for our community,” said Senator Mary Kunesh (DFL-New Brighton) “This is good governance – taking care of the buildings, systems, and public infrastructure that keep our daily lives running smoothly. I look forward to seeing these improvements made.”
Several local projects within District 39 – and some outside of the district that Senator Kunesh has been advocating for – were included in the package:
- $2 million – Fridley BNSF Northtown Yard Bridge
- $1.5 million – St. Paul Regional Water Services – Fridley Intake
- $840,000 – Rice Creek Watershed District – Jones Lake Climate Resiliency
- $2.478 million – City of Columbia Heights Public Works Facility
- $2.5 million – City of Hilltop Emergency Shelter / City Hall / Community Center
- $10 million – Mahnomen Hospital and Nursing Home
