Public Support Needed for The Hormel Institute’s MBiC Project as Minnesota’s 2024 Bonding Bill Decisions Loom
Gov. Walz shared that he used to refer to The Hormel Institute as Minnesota’s “best-kept secret,” acknowledged the vision of MBiC aligns with many statewide priorities for the future.
“Seeing that focus on children, and the focus on giving them opportunities, and putting them in lab coats in front of the world’s best equipment and talk[ing] to them ... It is not a cliche: they’re our future," Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said.
As Minnesota’s 2024 legislative session nears its end, The Hormel Institute awaits an answer for whether a requested $20M in funding from this year’s bonding bill will be approved to support its ongoing MBiC project.
