Bill > SF518

This bill authorizes a $14,000,000 state bond appropriation specifically for the Duluth Airport Authority to construct a new air traffic control tower base building at the Duluth International Airport. The funding will support designing, constructing, furnishing, and equipping the facility, which will include office spaces, equipment rooms, workspaces, and logistical support areas. The project also encompasses site preparation activities such as demolishing obsolete buildings, installing utilities and a stormwater retention system, and replacing existing fuel tanks. A portion of the appropriation will serve as a matching fund for federal project funding. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $14,000,000 to provide the necessary funds, following state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, enabling the Duluth Airport Authority to proceed with the capital improvement project.
