Budget PlanningGrantsDetected Jun 17, 2026

The Salina Airport Authority (SAA) Board is considering Resolution 26-03 declaring its intent to levy up to a one-mill property tax to provide local matching funds for federal and state airport grants. J. Kennedy Terminal Building parking lot expansion, terminal lobby and restroom upgrades, MRO development, and Taxiway Alpha design and construction when grant matches are needed and operating revenues are insufficient.The resolution starts a statutory public notice and comment process, with final Board action planned for the September 16, 2026 meeting. This is upstream funding groundwork for a pipeline of grant-funded capital projects rather than a specific procurement. Vendors that help SAA shape grant applications, match strategies, and project scopes for terminal, airfield, and MRO improvements can position themselves ahead of future RFPs tied to these funds.

Levy is permissive, not automatic; intent enables SAA to respond quickly to FAA and state grant opportunities with required local match.
