Board accepts $11 million FAA ARRA grant for airfield safety projects
Summary
The Board adopted a resolution authorizing the Airport to accept and spend an $11,000,000 Federal Aviation Administration grant — American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds — for enhanced airfield safety work.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Sept. 15 adopted a resolution authorizing the Airport to accept and expend an $11,000,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The funds come from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and are intended for airfield safety projects.
The resolution, considered by the City Operations and Neighborhood Services Committee on Sept. 14, passed the full board by unanimous vote.
Why it matters: The ARRA funds increase federal capital available to the airport for airfield‑safety improvements. The grant acceptance does not itself detail specific contract awards or a construction schedule in this hearing; further administrative steps will be required to program and expend the funds in accordance with FAA and city procurement requirements.
Vote: The resolution was adopted, 11–0 (roll‑call vote).
