authorize loans from the South Dakota housing infrastructure fund for airport infrastructure.
SB 76 transfers unobligated funds from South Dakota's housing infrastructure fund to the revolving economic development fund. It authorizes the Board of Economic Development to provide up to $15 million in 0% interest loans to airports with scheduled air service located in metro areas with 125,000-275,000 residents (or over 275,000) as of the 2024 Census. Loans must be repaid over 20 years with the first payment due one year after funding, and must be fully funded by June 2030. The bill directly affects airports in designated metro areas seeking infrastructure improvements.
