The bill appropriates $1,500,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2024 to support the Rise Up Center in Minneapolis. This funding is designated for Tending the Soil MN, a nonprofit organization, to evaluate potential sites, acquire property, and predesign the facility, which aims to provide workforce development, job training, housing, and public gathering spaces. The appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the section will take effect the day following its final enactment. This ensures that the funding and related activities can commence promptly after the legislative process is complete.
