This bill appropriates funds for the renovation of the historic Hibbing High School Auditorium in Hibbing, Minnesota. It allocates a total of $1,570,000, with $785,000 designated for fiscal year 2026 and another $785,000 for fiscal year 2027. The funds will be sourced from the arts and cultural heritage fund and are intended for a grant to the Hibbing School District (Independent School District No. 701).
The renovation project aims to preserve the auditorium's historical significance and includes specific repairs to various components such as the Barton pipe organ, stage, stage curtain, projector booth, electrical systems, dressing rooms, and the sprinkler system, among other necessary renovations. This investment underscores the importance of maintaining cultural heritage sites within the community.
