Duluth International Airport capital improvements funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 427 provides $14 million in state funding for capital improvements at Duluth International Airport, directly benefiting the Duluth Airport Authority. The bill authorizes the sale of state bonds to fund a new air traffic control tower base building, including design, construction, office spaces, site preparation (like demolishing old buildings), utility work, and replacing fuel tanks. A portion of the funds will match federal grants for the project. The legislation specifies that the money comes from bond proceeds and is effective upon final enactment.
