Minnesota Transportation Museum grant funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $500,000 from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota Transportation Museum for a one-time grant in fiscal year 2027. The funding is intended to help the museum remove financial obstacles and broaden its programs so that students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds can learn about skilled trades like welding, carpentry, and rail work. The money will be managed by the commissioner of employment and economic development and must be used by June 30, 2028.
