City of Saint Paul blighted property redevelopment bond issuance and appropriation

Related bill: HF1308

AI Generated Summary

This bill, S.F. No. 1927, is a capital investment measure that allocates $18 million from state bond proceeds to fund redevelopment in St. Paul’s Midway area. The appropriation will go to the Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development, who will grant the funds to the city of St. Paul. The money will be used for public infrastructure improvements, including streets, transit facilities, utilities, stormwater systems, lighting, sidewalks, parking, and other amenities.

The focus is on redeveloping blighted properties in the Midway area, defined as land within Snelling Avenue (west), University Avenue (north), Interstate 94 (south), and Pascal Street (east)—an area significantly damaged during the civil unrest in May 2020.

The bill also authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds to finance the appropriation, following Minnesota Constitutional and statutory procedures.
