Black Arts Tech Center operated by 30,000 Feet funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 1813 appropriates $2 million from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to 30,000 Feet, a nonprofit organization, to design, construct, and equip a Black Arts and Tech Center in St. Paul. The center will include an outdoor performance space, art room, and dance space to provide tech training and programming specifically for youth living in poverty. This funding is in addition to prior appropriations and remains available until the project is completed. The bill directly affects 30,000 Feet as the grant recipient and youth in St. Paul experiencing poverty through expanded access to arts and tech resources.
