The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,000,000 from the arts and cultural heritage fund for the Minnesota Transportation Museum, specifically to support capital improvements at the museum located in St. Paul. The funds are designated for various construction projects, including replacing the roof, stabilizing masonry, replacing the roundhouse doors, installing insulation, and making necessary modifications to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
This appropriation is set for fiscal year 2026 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 enhancing the museum's infrastructure to better serve the public and preserve Minnesota's transportation history.
