Should ball fields and splash pads qualify for state funding for the outdoors? Decision reached in Minnesota

Following debate that stretched through two meetings in November and December, the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Natural Resources in Minnesota found common ground on whether baseball fields or splash pads qualify for funding for the outdoors.
In short, those kinds of projects – by themselves, stand-alones – won’t qualify for Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund dollars, the proceeds of lottery sales. However, the compromise commission members agreed upon, prior to approval on Wednesday, Dec. 11, is to fund environment-enhancing aspects of baseball fields, basketball courts, splash pads, or playground equipment projects.
