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.
