Minnesota SF5228 establishes a grant program to fund infrastructure projects for sustainable construction and demolition waste management.

Minnesota SF5228 creates a sustainable construction and demolition waste grant program to assist eligible grantees with capital costs for infrastructure projects. The program aims to transition away from unlined landfills by funding projects that reduce waste disposal, prioritize waste reduction and recycling, and serve environmental justice areas. Grants can cover up to 50% of project expenses for landfill closure and up to 75% for infrastructure projects. The program is funded by a $118 million appropriation, with $59 million from the general fund and $59 million from bond proceeds.
