Minnesota's Legacy Website
Minnesota's Legacy Website is a site that follows the progress of all projects and programs receiving constitutionally dedicated funding from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment as well as the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund.
This website enables citizens to view how Legacy and Trust Fund dollars are being utilized in their community. Additionally, the website contains links to all the project proposals received by the Legislative Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources and the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council; frameworks and plans that have been developed for each fund; and information on how members of the public can apply for funding.
