Funds for Charlotte Nature Museum.

SB 682 appropriates $6.5 million in one-time state funds for capital improvements at the Charlotte Nature Museum, operated by Discovery Place, Inc. The bill allocates $1.5 million specifically for completing sidewalks, parking lots, and electric vehicle charging stations across the museum property, and $5 million for the Tree Canopy Walk project, including its construction, safety features, accessibility upgrades, and educational exhibits. These funds are designated for the 2025-2026 fiscal year and will directly support physical infrastructure and visitor experience enhancements at the museum. The project benefits the museum's operations and the public who visit the facility.
