George Stoppel historic site rehabilitation and Olmsted County History Center capital improvements appropriation

This bill appropriates $3 million from the general fund for one-time capital improvements to historic properties in Olmsted County. Specifically, $850,000 will rehabilitate the George Stoppel stone house and barn (a National Register-listed property) and add an accessible pathway, while $2.15 million funds renovations to the Olmsted County History Center in Rochester. All work must follow U.S. Secretary of the Interior historic preservation standards. The funds are directed to the Olmsted County Historical Society and the History Center for these specific projects, with no ongoing funding commitment.
