The bill appropriates $4,000,000 from the state airports fund for improvements at the Duluth International Airport, specifically for the design, construction, furnishing, and equipping of a new air traffic control tower and base building. This new facility will include office spaces, support areas, equipment rooms, and logistics support spaces. The project also encompasses site preparation, demolition of outdated buildings, utility installation, and the replacement of existing fuel tanks. A portion of the funds must be utilized as a match for federal funding.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that none of the appropriated funds can be used for administrative costs, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.98, subdivision 14. This appropriation is a one-time allocation that is available until June 30, 2028, and is in addition to a previous appropriation made under Laws 2025, First Special Session chapter 8.
