Brainerd city officials are exploring the idea of transferring sole ownership of the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport to Crow Wing County.
The Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport Commission recommended Delta Airlines be the recipient of a federal subsidy to operate flights out of Brainerd.
The airport's current contract with Delta expires in January.
The new facility is the hub for snow removal equipment and aircraft rescue and firefighting operations.
The array will be able to power nearly 1,400 homes a year.
