Minnesota Statutes established a 22-member board chaired by the Minnesota Historical Society director, with elected official representatives from Hennepin County, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, City of Minneapolis, the Minnesota State Senate, Minnesota House of Representatives, and others. The annual budget and work plan for the St. Anthony District is approved by the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Board.
