The shuttered Minnesota Discovery Center
in Chisholm is getting money to keep the heat on and to reopen its
research library.


      Iron Range Resources on Monday approved $250,000 in emergency
cash to pay bills at the center, formerly called Ironworld. The
agency's board unexpectedly threw in another $200,000 to reopen the
center's history research library.


      The center closed its doors on Nov. 20


      Iron Range Resources Commissioner Sandy Layman recommended
allocating $250,000 to the center to keep it afloat until March.
That's when Layman says she hopes to make a final recommendation on
its future.
