Bill > HF1507

This bill appropriates $1,058,200 from the Minnesota state general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant to the Lake Superior Center Authority for capital improvements at the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth. The funding is intended to support a comprehensive renovation project that includes major upgrades such as preserving or replacing mechanical, electrical, and water treatment systems, enhancing utility systems, implementing life-safety improvements, and making exterior improvements to the facility's building envelope, parking areas, and grounds. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. The bill specifies that it will become effective the day after its final enactment, providing a clear timeline for the implementation of these capital improvements to the aquarium.
