Sponsors should be making significant progress on their projects in order to meet this deadline. Each year, WSDOT provides crucial financial assistance to many of the state's 138 public airports through its Local Airport Aid Grant Program. WSDOT accepts applications from any municipality or federally recognized tribe that owns an open, public use airport in Washington State. The maximum amount WSDOT can award to an airport sponsor for a single grant is $250,000. While the exact amount of grant funds available in this round has yet to be determined, WSDOT anticipates that as much as $1 million will be available for eligible airport projects. This is pending the Governor’s approval of WSDOT’s budget for the 2009 – 2011 biennium. Since WSDOT places a high priority on pavement maintenance, it targets 65 to 75 percent of funding toward pavement projects. WSDOT anticipates announcing the grant awards no later than July 2, 2009.
