Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to capital investment; appropriating money for airport parking solar array and charging station in the city of Rochester; authorizing the sale and issuance of state bonds.

AI Summary

This bill provides $3,000,000 in state bond funding to the city of Rochester for a solar array and electric vehicle charging station project at the Rochester International Airport. The funding will cover costs including predesign, design, engineering, site debris removal, pavement reconstruction, and construction of the infrastructure. The bill allows the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $3,000,000 to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. Notably, any expenses the city of Rochester has already incurred for predesign, design, and engineering prior to the bill's enactment can be counted toward the required non-state matching funds. This legislation aims to support sustainable transportation infrastructure by investing in renewable energy and electric vehicle charging capabilities at the local airport.
