Bill > HF2247

This bill appropriates $7 million in fiscal year 2026 from the state's general fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant for Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina (COPAL), a Latino community organization. The funding is intended to support the design, construction, furnishing, and equipment of a new Latino Center for Community Engagement (LCCE), which will provide working spaces for COPAL and its partner organizations and serve as a training center focused on workforce development and employment opportunities. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations. By providing this substantial grant, the bill aims to support community infrastructure and economic development for the Latino community in Minnesota.
