Bill > HF243

This bill appropriates $3,000,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development as a grant to the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, a nonprofit organization. The grant is specifically designated for renovating, constructing, furnishing, and equipping the White Bear Armory, with the goal of transforming the space into a history museum. The funding is considered a one-time appropriation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642. The bill aims to support local historical preservation efforts by providing significant financial resources to upgrade and repurpose a historic armory building for community educational purposes.
