Made in Minnesota Program and Enterprise Minnesota, Inc. appropriation
This bill appropriates $1 million annually for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to fund two specific programs supporting Minnesota manufacturers. The funds go to Enterprise Minnesota, Inc. to provide services like talent development, quality management, and growth strategies to small manufacturers employing 250 or fewer full-time equivalent workers. It also requires Enterprise Minnesota to submit annual reports detailing funds used, financial impacts on companies, and federal funds leveraged. The bill updates the program name in law from "small business growth acceleration program" to "Made in Minnesota program." This directly affects small manufacturing businesses across Minnesota through targeted support services.
