A bill geared towards the early completion of airport improvements has been approved by the U.S. House. It was introduced by Missouri 6th District Congressman Sam Graves.

In his remarks on the floor, Graves says current law, airports cannot use AIP funds to incentivize early completion of airport projects, even if the early completion would result in significant capacity or efficiency gains for the airport.

 

 

Graves says north Missouri airports depend on AIP funding to make needed improvements.
