Duluth International Airport improvements appropriation

This bill allocates $4 million from the state airports fund to the Duluth Airport Authority for upgrading the Duluth International Airport's air traffic control tower and base building. The funding covers the design and construction of new facilities, including office spaces and equipment rooms, as well as site preparation, utility installation, and the replacement of an existing fuel tank. A portion of these funds must be used to match federal contributions for the project, and the money is restricted from being used for administrative costs. This one-time appropriation is available for use until June 30, 2028, and is in addition to previously approved funding for the same initiative.
