Bill > S00275

This bill amends the transportation law to give the commissioner of transportation more flexibility in awarding grants for airport improvement and revitalization. Currently, grants are limited to a maximum of $2.5 million and cannot be used for administrative salaries or services. The bill allows the commissioner to increase the maximum grant award up to $5 million when the total available funds can support a higher grant amount. This change gives the commissioner discretionary power to provide larger grants based on the funding context, potentially enabling more substantial airport improvement projects. The modification aims to provide greater financial support for airport infrastructure and development by allowing more substantial grant awards when funding permits.
