The bill proposes an appropriation of $3,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to support the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, a nonprofit organization. The funds are designated for the renovation, construction, furnishing, and equipping of the White Bear Armory in White Bear Lake, with the goal of repurposing the facility into a history museum.
This 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. The bill emphasizes the importance of preserving local history through the establishment of a dedicated museum space.
