City of Maplewood grant appropriation

This bill appropriates a one-time state grant to the City of Maplewood for developing a community and cultural marketplace on the former Sears site at Maplewood Mall. The funds, available until June 30, 2027, require collaboration with the new property owner and HmongTown Connection. The grant specifically supports transforming the vacant retail space into a shared cultural and community hub. This is a funding measure directly affecting Maplewood's economic development efforts and the HmongTown Connection organization.
