Capitol campus improvements funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 2970 appropriates $750,000 from Minnesota's arts and cultural heritage fund for specific Capitol campus improvements in fiscal year 2026. The funds will directly support: $400,000 for trees on the upper mall and northern lower mall, $200,000 for benches in those areas, and $150,000 for visual markers and welcome information to enhance wayfinding. The bill specifies that any remaining funds after completing one project may be redirected to other listed projects. These changes affect public spaces on the Capitol campus, which serve all visitors and residents. The bill focuses solely on funding allocation, with no policy changes beyond the described physical improvements.
