    (St. Paul, Minn) This morning, on what many believe is to be the final day of the 2014 legislative session, the Minnesota Senate passed the omnibus bonding project allocation (HF 2490) and general fund appropriations for capital investment (HF 1068) with the support of Senator Carla Nelson (R-Rochester). Upon passage, the bills proceed to the Governor’s office for his signature. “I am so pleased about the passage of the bonding and cash bills this morning. Both include several projects important to the constituents of Senate District 26, and will benefit Minnesotans and visitors from across the world alike,” said Senator Carla Nelson, member of the Senate Committee on Capital Investment. “I was glad to cast a green vote to fund cultural projects like the Chatfield Center for the Arts ($5.4 million) and community projects like the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency ($80 million), Remembering With Dignity grave memorials ($195,000) , Safe Routes to Schools ($1 million), and the Lake Zumbro reclamation ($500,000). Continuing the preservation of our state’s heritage through funding of the Capitol restoration ($126.3 million) is vitally important, as is renovating a critical institution of higher education in our community, Rochester Community and Technical College ($1 million). In transportation infrastructure, local road improvements ($54.4 million) and local bridge replacement ($33 million) will receive both bonding and cash appropriations. And finally, the time has come for the long sought-after Mayo Civic Center expansion project ($34.5 million) in Rochester. Attracting prestigious national and international medical conventions to our part of the state will be a boost to the local economy.” “With so many projects on the table, this agreement comes down to priorities. There are certain projects I would not have chosen, but overall I am happy with the focus on funding culture, community, heritage, higher education, infrastructure and economic development. I believe we’ve struck the all-important balance in these investments necessary to preserve our common heritage, develop regional assets and encourage economic growth,” added Senator Nelson.

    Sen. Carla Nelson (R-Rochester) Comments on Senate Passage of Bonding and
    General Fund Investment Appropriations

    (St. Paul, Minn) This morning, on what many believe is to be the final day of the 2014 legislative
    session, the Minnesota Senate passed the omnibus bonding project allocation (HF 2490) and general
    fund appropriations for capital investment (HF 1068) with the support of Senator Carla Nelson (R-
    Rochester). Upon passage, the bills proceed to the Governors office for his signature.

    I am so pleased about the passage of the bonding and cash bills this morning. Both include several
    projects important to the constituents of Senate District 26, and will benefit Minnesotans and visitors
    from across the world alike, said Senator Carla Nelson, member of the Senate Committee on
    Capital Investment. I was glad to cast a green vote to fund cultural projects like the Chatfield
    Center for the Arts ($5.4 million) and community projects like the Minnesota Housing Finance
    Agency ($80 million), Remembering With Dignity grave memorials ($195,000) , Safe Routes to
    Schools ($1 million), and the Lake Zumbro reclamation ($500,000). Continuing the preservation of
    our states heritage through funding of the Capitol restoration ($126.3 million) is vitally important,
    as is renovating a critical institution of higher education in our community, Rochester Community
    and Technical College ($1 million). In transportation infrastructure, local road improvements ($54.4
    million) and local bridge replacement ($33 million) will receive both bonding and cash
    appropriations. And finally, the time has come for the long sought-after Mayo Civic Center
    expansion project ($35 million) in Rochester. Attracting prestigious national and international
    medical conventions to our part of the state will be a boost to the local economy.

    With so many projects on the table, this agreement comes down to priorities. There are certain
    projects I would not have chosen, but overall I am happy with the focus on funding culture,
    community, heritage, higher education, infrastructure and economic development. I believe weve
    struck the all-important balance in these investments necessary to preserve our common heritage,
    develop regional assets and encourage economic growth, added Senator Nelson.
