Bill > HF427

This bill provides $14 million in state bond funding for a major infrastructure project at the Duluth International Airport. Specifically, the funds will be used by the Duluth Airport Authority to design, construct, and equip a new air traffic control tower base building. The project encompasses creating office spaces, equipment rooms, workspaces, and support areas, and will also include site preparation 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 funding. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $14 million to finance the project, following established state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The bill's effective date is the day after it is finally enacted, allowing the airport authority to proceed with the capital improvement project promptly.
