Bill > HF2399

This bill appropriates $6,000,000 from the state of Minnesota's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant for the Rondo Community Land Trust, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The funding is intended to support the acquisition, design, and redevelopment of land parcels located between Dale Street and Saint Albans Street in St. Paul, with the grant covering costs related to site improvements, infrastructure, and landscaping. The appropriation is a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is fully completed, highlighting the state's commitment to supporting community-driven urban redevelopment efforts in the Rondo neighborhood, which has historical significance as a predominantly African American community that was displaced by highway construction in the mid-20th century.
