The bill proposes an appropriation of $600,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund. This funding is designated for a grant to Emerge Community Development, aimed at enhancing workforce initiatives at the Emerge Career and Technical Center, Cedar Riverside Opportunity Center, and Emerge Second Chance programs located in Minneapolis.

The primary objective of this financial support is to bolster critical workforce development efforts in the region, thereby contributing to economic growth and providing opportunities for individuals seeking to improve their skills and employment prospects.
