The Biennial Program includes the projects programmed for the two most immediate years of the Capital Improvement Program. The 1996-2000 CIP includes 127.0 million of nonreliever general aviation airport improvement projects. Over the five-year period, this represents projected funding of about 56.4 million federal, 58.9 million state, and 11.7 million in local contributions. Projects included in the Biennial Program are those that the Commission has determined should be funded for the upcoming fiscal year and the fiscal year following that year.
Once a project is approved for the second year of the Biennial Program, work begins on preparing the project for implementation in the following year. Preliminary work may include preparation of environmental assessments, plans and specifications, and land acquisition. All other projects listed in the CIP are subject to change as needs, priorities, and funding availability change. If you would like a copy of the CIP, contact the Aviation Division, 1-800-68-PILOT.
