Bill > HF2835

This bill appropriates $2 million in fiscal year 2026 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant to Indigenous Roots, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in St. Paul. The funding is intended to support the expansion of the Indigenous Roots Cultural Arts Center by enabling the organization to acquire, design, renovate, furnish, and equip an adjacent property. The primary goal of this expansion is to increase programming capacity for incubating and supporting small businesses along the Intertribal Cultural Corridor in St. Paul and surrounding communities. The appropriation is considered a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. The bill specifies that it will become effective the day after its final enactment, providing a clear timeline for implementation of the grant.
