From Minnesota School District Voters Reject Tax Levy and Demolition Bond

How could the approval of the Ag2School credit affect the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

State credit approval may impact DNR's program execution The approval of the Ag2School credit means the state is contributing $1.76 million toward the $3.2 million demolition of old school buildings in Gibbon. This financial commitment requires the state system, which the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is part of, to manage the distribution and oversight of the credit. This execution of the state program could increase the agency's operational workload related to state financial aid programs.
