Bill > SF923

This bill appropriates $3 million from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, specifically designated as a grant to the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. The purpose of the grant is to support the renovation, construction, furnishing, and equipping of the White Bear Armory, which will be transformed into a history museum in White Bear Lake. The funding is a one-time appropriation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial guidelines (specifically Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642). By providing this substantial financial support, the bill aims to help the historical society preserve and showcase local history by repurposing an existing armory building into a community museum space.
