Rochester International Airport parking solar array and electric vehicle charging stations bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $3 million from state bonds to fund a solar energy project and electric vehicle charging stations in the parking area at Rochester International Airport. The funds will cover predesign, engineering, construction, and related costs for the solar array and charging infrastructure. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will administer the grant to the city of Rochester. The project directly affects airport users and the city's infrastructure, with the state issuing bonds to cover the cost.
