Plain English Summary
This bill appropriates $10 million in state highway funds to the Pitt-Greenville Airport for constructing a new general aviation terminal designed to address flood mitigation concerns. The funds would be made available starting July 1, 2025.
Arguments in Favor
Supporters argue this investment improves critical infrastructure for regional aviation and economic development in Eastern North Carolina. The flood mitigation component addresses safety concerns and protects airport operations from weather-related disruptions, potentially reducing future disaster recovery costs.
Arguments Against
Opponents may question whether highway funds should be diverted to airport projects, argue the $10 million allocation is excessive for a general aviation terminal, or contend that local/federal resources should bear more of the cost. Some may also question whether flood mitigation justifies the expense or if alternative solutions would be more cost-effective.
