In January of an even-numbered calendar year, the governor is required by statute to submit a list of capital infrastructure recommendations to the legislature for consideration in the upcoming legislative session. Governor Dayton announced his capital infrastructure bonding recommendations for the 2018 session. In his recommendations, he included nearly $300 million for the University of Minnesota.
The total for the governor's recommendation is higher than the University's request and puts the the University in a great position heading into the legislative session, however, the governor's list of recommendations is only the first step in the process leading to a capital investment bonding bill. The House and Senate will release their own recommendations during the 2018 session, which begins on February 20.
