Bill > HF1046

This bill provides a one-time appropriation of $12,500,000 from the state's general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant for the Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota, a nonprofit organization located in Mankato. The funding is intended to support comprehensive capital improvements, including constructing a new museum building expansion, renovating existing exhibit spaces, and creating an outdoor nature play space. The grant is available until the project is completed or abandoned, following standard state financial guidelines. The bill specifies that the appropriation is a one-time allocation, and it will become effective the day after it is officially enacted. By providing this significant funding, the bill aims to support the museum's physical infrastructure and enhance its educational and recreational offerings for children in southern Minnesota.
