Karlstad; airport relocation funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 604 appropriates $9.7 million from state bond proceeds to fund Phase 3 of the Karlstad airport runway and facility construction. The funds will support engineering, paving, lighting, taxiways, a fueling system, navigational aids, and other required infrastructure for the city of Karlstad to meet state aviation licensing standards. The state will issue bonds up to $9.7 million under Minnesota law to finance this project, building on prior funding for Phases 1 and 2. This bill directly affects the city of Karlstad, which will receive the grant to complete the airport relocation project.
