This bill proposes a sales and use tax exemption for construction materials used in building a water treatment facility in Monticello, Minnesota. The exemption applies to materials, supplies, and equipment used in the construction, reconstruction, upgrade, expansion, renovation, or remodeling of the facility, including related water utility infrastructure.
