Bill Summary

AN ACT TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR LAURINBURG-MAXTON AIRPORT.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates $52.5 million from the Highway Fund to the North Carolina Department of Transportation's Division of Aviation for the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport in the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The funds will be allocated to the Southeast Regional Airport Authority with specific purposes: $28 million for runway extension (specifically Runway 5/23), $15 million for airport capital projects, and $9.5 million for water and sewer capital projects. The bill requires the Division of Aviation to submit quarterly reports on the fund usage to the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee and the Fiscal Research Division. The appropriation is nonrecurring, meaning it is a one-time funding allocation, and the act will become effective on July 1, 2025. This targeted funding appears aimed at supporting infrastructure improvements and development at the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport, which serves southeastern North Carolina.
