This funding, made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, increases the federal cost share to 100% to support the continued development and modernization of Texas's network of regional and local airports, which are crucial to the state's overall transportation infrastructure and economic vitality.
