Bill > SF3185

This bill appropriates $3 million from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, specifically as a grant to Hmong 18 Council, Inc. (a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization) to support the development of a Hmong Community Center in St. Paul. The funding is intended to cover the entire project lifecycle, including predesign, design, construction, renovation, furnishing, and equipment of the center. The proposed community center aims to serve Hmong families and the broader community, functioning as a dedicated space and central hub for culturally specific resources and social services. The appropriation is designated as a onetime funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in line with state financial regulations. This funding is considered supplemental to a previous appropriation made in the 2023 legislative session.
