Bill > SF3313

This bill appropriates $5.5 million in fiscal year 2026 from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically to provide a grant to Independent School District No. 704 in Proctor for constructing a regional center of excellence for career technical education (CTE) in Northeastern Minnesota. The center will be a collaborative effort overseen by a partnership among the Proctor, Hermantown, and Esko school districts, with the primary goal of providing cost-effective workforce training that meets the needs of regional industries. The grant funds can be used for purchasing real property, construction and renovation expenses, and acquiring equipment necessary for career and technical education programs. The appropriation will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations, and is designed to support local workforce development by creating a centralized technical education facility.
