Nobles County approved two subcontract agreements under a Minnesota Department of Employment & Economic Development (DEED) child‑care expansion grant, authorizing the City of Rushmore and Nobles Cooperative Electric to access $240,000 each for remodeling projects to bring child‑care facilities into licensure. Under the approved arrangement, the named local partners will contract for remodeling work; Nobles County will pay contractors and then invoice DEED to draw down the grant funds.
The board approved the awards on April 8 (Rushmore motion by Bob Paplow; Nobles Cooperative Electric motion by Robert S. Demuth). The meeting packet said each subcontract provides access to $240,000 of the total grant award; the minutes do not list the total DEED award amount or the number of facilities to be funded beyond the contracts approved at this meeting.
