Projects are prioritized\nbased on safety, preservation, standards, and economic benefit. Federal grants\ntypically require 10 percent in matching funds from the airport sponsor or\nowner; however, for projects identified in the ACP, the Department makes half\nthe federal match. Regular state grant funding require five percent matching\nfunds whereas terminal buildings require 50 percent matching funds and hangars\nrequire 60 percent matching funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than $174 million in federal funds will pay for the\nmajority of the projects based on the financial numbers, while $113 million in\nstate grants and $55 million in local matching funds will cover the remaining\ncosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see the entire list of projects included in the proposed ACP, <a href=\"https:\/\/oklahoma.gov\/aerospace\/airports\/airport_construction_program.html\">click here<\/a>.  <a href=\"https:\/\/oklahoma.gov\/aerospace\/airports\/airport_construction_program.html\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Prep Fund project was approved at West Woodward Airport to\nacquire 104 acres of land at the north end of the runway to help the airport\nwith their growth plans.
