Lawmakers Seek to Facilitate N.J. Airport Improvements

Patience is a Virtue—Unless You’re Spending D.O.T. Money

In an effort to prioritize progress over bureaucratic malfeisence, New Jersey lawmakers have advanced legislation that would afford airports additional time to apply state funds to much-needed improvements. Currently, airports are obligated to utilize Department of Transportation grants within two years of receiving them. In most cases, however, the interval expires before airport improvement projects are granted requisite local approval or finalize engineering work—especially if community opposition slows the process. Complications and delays notwithstanding, the DOT grants expire after two years.

The private pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
