Bill > SF3206

This bill appropriates $6,000,000 from the Minnesota state 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 specific urban parcels located between Dale Street and Saint Albans Street in St. Paul, Minnesota. The appropriation covers expenses related to site improvements, infrastructure, and landscaping, and is considered a one-time funding allocation that will remain available until the project is fully completed. This bill appears to be part of a broader effort to support community development and revitalization in the Rondo neighborhood, which historically was a vibrant African American community significantly impacted by urban highway construction in the mid-20th century.
