renovation and expansion of an existing waste diversion and materials recovery facility in
the city of Alexandria; to design, construct, and equip a new organics composting facility
in Douglas County; and to design, construct, and equip a new environmental learning center
in Alexandria for problem materials recycling and disposal of household hazardous waste.
This appropriation may also be used for demolition and relocation costs associated with the
projects described in this section and is intended to replace outdated public facilities and
infrastructure to serve the waste diversion, recycling, and composting needs of Douglas,
Pope, Otter Tail, Grant, Stevens, Stearns, Benton, and Sherburne counties. This appropriation
is not available until the commissioner of management and budget determines that $9,900,000
has been committed from nonstate sources to complete the project.
