The bill proposes an appropriation of $995,000 from the general fund for the Como Community Center in Minneapolis. This funding is designated for the construction, furnishing, and equipping of improvements to renovate and repurpose the historic Como Congregational Church into a community center, public meeting space, and auditorium. The bill allows for up to $100,000 of the appropriation to reimburse the Como Community Center for costs incurred after October 1, 2024, related to this project.
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 aims to enhance community resources and public spaces in Minneapolis through this significant investment in the Como Community Center.
