SECTION 30.219. Planning Grant Contracts

Grants for planning shall also be available to eligible parties under the program. The primary purpose of such planning shall be to determine the facilities required to meet a community's short, intermediate, and long-term aviation needs. The need for a planning grant will be evaluated in light of the overall needs of the state as specified in the Texas Airport System Plan with due emphasis placed on complex situations such as:

(1) service to more than one community or region;

(2) unresolved questions concerning site selection or airspace limitations;

(3) unique environmental conditions;

(4) unusual or unique aviation needs; and

(5) an apparent surplus of facilities and/or land.
