AI Summary

This bill provides a $2,000,000 appropriation from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development specifically for a grant to the city of Brooklyn Park in fiscal year 2026. The funding is designated to expand workforce development programming in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center, with a focus on serving underrepresented populations through specific programs like Brooklynk, Career Pathways, Youth Entrepreneurship, and Community Partnership. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will be available until June 30, 2028, meaning the city must use or commit the funds within that timeframe. By targeting underrepresented populations, the bill aims to enhance job training, skills development, and economic opportunities for communities that may face barriers to employment.
