Summary
Each year, the Aviation Department submits grant applications to the United States and its agencies for eligible aviation-related projects. The Aviation Department takes a proactive position in obtaining City Council authorization to accept any grants awarded by the United States and its agencies for eligible aviation-related projects.
These authorizations will allow the Aviation Department to respond promptly to federal agencies if and when grant offers become available on short notice. The grant agreements or grant amendments or both may become available from the Department of Transportation, including the Federal Aviation Agency Airport Improvement Program, Department of Homeland Security, or any other federal program. Action associated with these authorizations will be for projects in the Aviation Department’s approved Capital Improvement Plan.
