Baxter; WonderTrek Children's Museum funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 3238 appropriates $2 million from the general fund for the WonderTrek Children's Museum, a nonprofit organization in Baxter, to fund capital improvements for phase I of its nine-acre campus. The funding covers design, construction, and equipment for specific elements including a 2,400-square-foot classroom, four acres of nature play exhibits, infrastructure, landscaping, and outdoor recreation facilities. This one-time appropriation is available until the project is completed or abandoned, as specified in Minnesota Statutes. The bill directly affects the museum's ability to develop its physical campus and serves the community by providing educational resources for children.
