Bill > HF3313

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2026 from the general fund to the Dakota County Community Development Agency (DCCDA) to support Expo 2031, a potential international horticultural exposition. The funding is specifically intended to help the DCCDA work with the Expo 2031 host organization on various preparatory activities, such as paying licensing fees, finalizing development planning, and reimbursing associated costs. Importantly, the appropriation is contingent upon the project receiving approval from two international organizations: the International Association of Horticultural Producers and the Bureau International des Expositions. If the project fails to receive this approval, the funds will be transferred to the Minnesota investment fund. The bill allows for reimbursement of expenses up to 90 days before encumbrance and specifies that this is a one-time appropriation, with any unspent funds remaining available in the second year rather than being canceled.
