Gibbon, Fairfax, and Winthrop; GFW school district vacant properties redevelopment funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 645 appropriates $3 million from the general fund for the cities of Gibbon, Fairfax, and Winthrop to plan the redevelopment of vacant properties formerly used by the GFW school district (Independent School District No. 2365). The funds are specifically for predesign and design work to repurpose these properties to meet community needs, such as housing or commercial use. This is a one-time funding allocation available until project completion, targeting three specific Minnesota cities.
