Rural airport program funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.
HF 905 appropriates $10 million from state bond sales to fund grants for rural airports in Minnesota that don't qualify for federal funding and aren't included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The bill authorizes the state to issue up to $10 million in bonds to create this funding source, with the money directed to local governments owning qualifying airports. This provides a dedicated state funding stream for airport improvements where federal support is unavailable. The bill affects rural communities with smaller airports facing financial barriers to maintenance and development.
