This bill appropriates $1,200,000 from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota Commissioner of Employment and Economic Development, specifically for a grant to the Asian Economic Development Association (AEDA). The grant is intended to support AEDA in collaboration with the coalition of Minnesota Asian Building Trades Entrepreneurs (MABTE) and related firms, with the goal of helping these businesses grow through various means including training, hiring, and capacity building. The funding is designated as a one-time appropriation for fiscal year 2026 and will remain available until June 30, 2027. By providing this targeted financial support, the bill aims to enhance economic opportunities and development for Asian-owned businesses in Minnesota's building trades and related sectors.
