$5,982,000 the first year and $7,000,000 the second year are for statewide historic and cultural grants to local, county, regional, or other historical or cultural organizations or for activities to preserve significant historic and cultural resources. Money must be distributed through a competitive grant process. The Minnesota Historical Society must administer the money 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).

The project started when LHB was hired and the team conducted an on-site visit. After completing the prior grant requirements and reports, LHB produced the final draft of the Construction Documents for the August (Gust) Akerlund Photography Studio. Thus, the short-term indicator of the creation of Construction Documents for the Akerlund Studio was achieved.
Once this grant is closed, a meeting will be set up with the City of Cokato Council about applying for a construction grant. If a grant is awarded then construction would begin, following the Construction Documents. The completion of this construction would mean the intermediate-term indicator would be finished. Due to the completed construction that was done using the Construction Documents, the Akerlund Studio can then be maintained and stabilized by the City of Cokato and the Cokato Historical Society, under the guidance of museum or State Preservation staff, for generations to come. These steps, when they occur, will complete the long-term indicators.
