Rochester; airport parking solar array and charging station funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 546 appropriates $3 million from state bond proceeds to fund a solar array and electric vehicle charging stations in the parking area at Rochester International Airport. The city of Rochester will receive a grant to cover predesign, construction, and related work, including site preparation. The funds will be provided through state bonds authorized under Minnesota law, with prior project costs counted toward the city's required nonstate contribution. This bill directly affects Rochester International Airport operations and local infrastructure development.
