Bill > SF2962

This bill appropriates $3 million from the state's general fund to the Metropolitan Council specifically for community tree-planting grants during fiscal year 2026. The funding is designated for grants authorized under Minnesota Statutes, section 473.355, which likely pertains to tree-planting initiatives in the metropolitan area. The appropriation is considered a one-time allocation and will remain available for use until June 30, 2028, providing the Metropolitan Council with flexibility in distributing the grants to local communities for tree-planting projects. This type of grant program typically supports urban forestry efforts, helping to increase tree canopy, improve environmental quality, and enhance green spaces in metropolitan communities.
