$4,500,000 the first year and $6,500,000 the second year are for history programs and projects operated or conducted by or through local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources. Funds are to be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Historical Society must administer these funds using established grant mechanisms, with assistance from the advisory committee created under Laws 2009, chapter 172, article 4, section 2, subdivision 4, paragraph (b), item (ii).

Our main outcome through the Pre-Development process was to obtain detailed reports related to our Scope of Work that will guide our choices leading to actual construction work to stabilize the Carriage House and interior/exterior construction work on the Boyhood Home.
We feel that these targets were achieved, mostly due to the professional work provided by the four contractors who participated in the pre-development phase.
