Bill > SF578

This bill appropriates $1,600,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically for a grant to Glacial Ridge Curling, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The funding is designated for the predesign, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of a new curling facility in the city of Willmar, Minnesota. Before the money can be released, the commissioner of management and budget must verify that sufficient additional funding has been committed to complete the project, as required by state financial regulations. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial management guidelines. The bill specifies that it becomes effective the day after it is officially enacted, providing immediate authorization for the funding process to begin.
