The bill appropriates $2,500,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2024 to support the Village Children's Museum in Willmar, Minnesota. This funding is designated for a grant to the United Way of West Central Minnesota, a nonprofit organization, to facilitate the acquisition of property and to predesign, design, renovate, equip, and furnish capital improvements at the museum. The appropriation specifically aims to fund the purchase of a new site and renovations for a 19,000 square foot museum building, ensuring the museum can continue its operations effectively. The funds 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 it will take effect the day following its final enactment. This onetime appropriation underscores the state's commitment to enhancing cultural and educational resources for children in the community.
