SF 5198 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Twin Cities Public Television grant appropriation

This bill proposes allocating $5 million from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2027 to support Twin Cities Public Television. The funds are designated for a grant to help the organization lease property in St. Louis Park and build a museum featuring interactive, immersive, and multimedia exhibits. The money will be released only after the state confirms that non-state funding has been secured to finish the project, and it is intended as a one-time payment. The legislation directly affects Twin Cities Public Television and the city of St. Louis Park by providing financial assistance for this specific construction and development initiative.
