A last-minute legislative appropriation of $5.9 million will give Magic City Discovery Center visitors more to enjoy when the children’s museum/science center opens, which could happen by the end of 2022.
The appropriation was tucked into the funding bill of the Office of Management and Budget, the final bill passed during the session that finished just after midnight Friday morning, said Sen. Randy Burckhard, R-Minot.
The money will allow for development of a rooftop science and event center and additional outdoor activities as well as meet increased COVID-related expenses.
