This legislative bill, SF No 578, proposes to allocate $1,600,000 in the fiscal year 2026 from Minnesota’s general fund to finance the pre-design, design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of a new curling facility in the city of Willmar. The funds will be managed through a grant given to Glacial Ridge Curling, a nonprofit organization. This funding is conditional on confirmation by the commissioner of management and budget that enough additional funds have been secured to complete the project. The allocated funds must be used exclusively for this project and will be withdrawn if the project is not completed or is abandoned per specific Minnesota statutes.
