Bill > S289

This bill appropriates $237,000 in nonrecurring funds from the General Fund to the Office of State Budget and Management for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, specifically to provide a directed grant to The Stagville Memorial Project. The grant will support the design and development of an art installation that honors the history of Stagville descendants, which will be located on a plot of land across from the Museum of Durham History in Durham, North Carolina. The bill specifies that these funds are for a one-time allocation and will become effective on July 1, 2025. The Stagville Memorial Project appears to be an initiative aimed at commemorating and preserving the local historical narrative, likely related to the significant African American history of the Stagville site, which was once a large plantation where enslaved people lived and worked.
