This bill proposes an appropriation of $7,000,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2027, specifically designated for the city of Chaska. The funds are intended to support a grant aimed at attracting and covering costs associated with hosting a series of future championship events organized by the Professional Golfers' Association of America (PGA). The events must include at least one men's PGA championship and one women's PGA championship.
The bill emphasizes the importance of these championship events for economic development in the region, as they are expected to draw significant attention and tourism to Chaska. The appropriation is a one-time allocation and will remain available until June 30 of the specified year, ensuring that the city has the necessary resources to successfully host these prestigious golf tournaments.
