Bill > SF1625

This bill appropriates $7,000,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, specifically for a grant to Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina (COPAL), a Latino community organization. The grant is designated to support the design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of a new Latino Center for Community Engagement (LCCE). The center will provide dedicated working spaces for COPAL and its partner organizations and will function as a training center focused on workforce development and employment opportunities. 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. The bill aims to support community infrastructure and economic development for the Latino community in Minnesota by providing a centralized space for organizational work and professional training.
