Future of two infrastructure projects in Albert Lea are in jeopardy

The future of two infrastructure projects in Albert Lea are in jeopardy after the city’s bonding requests were not included in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s $2.7 billion capital investment proposal unveiled Tuesday. The Shell Rock River Watershed District had requested $8 million in bonding for the final phase of dredging on Fountain Lake, and the city of Albert Lea had requested $30 million to go toward upgrades at the city’s wastewater treatment plant but neither project was included.
