HF853

This bill, proposed by Representative Baker, involves allocating $1,600,000 from Minnesota's general fund in fiscal year 2026 for the construction of a new curling facility in Willmar. The funds will be granted to Glacial Ridge Curling, a nonprofit organization, for the predesign, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of the facility. The bill mandates that the funds are released only after it is confirmed that enough resources are committed to fully complete the project, in accordance with Minnesota’s financial regulations. The allocation is a one-time arrangement and the funds will remain available until the project is either completed or officially abandoned.
