Bill > SF312

This bill appropriates $5 million from Minnesota's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically to provide a grant to the North Branch Area Hockey Association, a nonprofit organization recognized under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. The grant is designated for the design, construction, and equipping of the Stacy Ice Arena, which will be located in Chisago County. The funding is considered a one-time appropriation and will remain available until the ice arena project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642, which likely provides guidelines for managing state appropriation projects. This legislative action represents a direct financial investment by the state in a local community sports and recreational facility.
