Bill > HF3238

This bill appropriates $2 million in fiscal year 2026 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically for a grant to the WonderTrek Children's Museum, a nonprofit organization located in Baxter. The funding is designated for the first phase of a nine-acre children's museum campus and will support various capital improvements, including site development, infrastructure, landscaping, a 2,400 square foot indoor-outdoor classroom, nature play exhibits spanning four acres, and outdoor recreation and educational activities. The appropriation is a one-time funding allocation that will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial regulations. The bill specifies that the funding is intended to help the museum design, construct, equip, and furnish these improvements, and will take effect the day after it is officially enacted.
