SF518

The legislative bill SF No. 518 proposes an appropriation of $14,000,000 in state bond funds to finance the construction of a new air traffic control tower at the Duluth International Airport. This project will include the design and construction of the tower, which will have office spaces, support areas, and logistic facilities. Additionally, the project will cover necessary site preparations, such as the demolition of old buildings, the installation of utilities, and the management of stormwater. Also, it includes replacing an existing fuel tank. A portion of the money will be matched with federal funding to support the completion of this project. To arrange the financing, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds as outlined under Minnesota law and the state constitution.
