Funding History
Appropriation Overview

During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $3,536,100 from all sources for Airport Construction. This is a 58.6 percent reduction from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.

Each public-use airport sponsor is required to provide the Division of Aeronautics with an updated Capital Improvement Plan to bring its airport in compliance with current FAA standards. To assist airport sponsors the FAA and the Division of Aeronautics offer financial grants. Thirty-four of Utah's public use airports are eligible for both state and federal grants. The remaining eleven airports are eligible for state grants only. Projects requesting financial assistance are first prioritized and subjected to the Project Selection Process.
