Northeastern Minnesota regional career technical education center construction funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 2635 appropriates $5.5 million from Minnesota's workforce development fund to build a regional career technical education center in Northeastern Minnesota. The funds will support Independent School District No. 704 in Proctor, in partnership with Hermantown and Esko school districts, to construct a facility for workforce training. The center must address regional industry needs and can use the funds for property, construction, remodeling, and equipment. This bill directly affects students and job seekers in the Northeastern Minnesota region by creating a dedicated training hub.
