Bill > SF1928

This bill appropriates $2 million from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, specifically for a grant to 30,000 Feet, a nonprofit organization. The grant is designated to support the design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of a Black Arts and Tech Center located in St. Paul. The center will include an outdoor performance space, a multidisciplinary art room, and a dance space, with a focus on providing technology training and programming to youth living in poverty. This appropriation is supplemental to a previous appropriation made in 2023 and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with standard state financial regulations. The bill aims to support arts education, technical skills training, and community development for underserved youth in the St. Paul area.
