Bill > HF2970

This bill appropriates $750,000 from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Commissioner of Administration for improvements to the Capitol campus, with specific allocations for different projects. The funding includes $400,000 for planting trees on the upper and northern lower mall areas bordering Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, $200,000 for installing benches in the same areas, and $150,000 for creating visual markers and welcome information that will help visitors navigate the Capitol campus while highlighting its historical significance and current role as a public gathering space. The appropriation will remain available until the projects are completed or abandoned, and the Commissioner of Administration has the flexibility to reallocate any remaining funds from one project to another after substantial completion, following written notice to the Commissioner of Management and Budget. This bill aims to enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of the Minnesota State Capitol campus, making it more welcoming and informative for visitors.
