Our major initiative in 2015 was to submit and work on
passing Oregon House Bill
HB 2075 - Aviation Funding at the
beginning of the 2015 session. It
passed the House and Senate by a 90% margin and was
signed by Governor Kate Brown on 7/20/2015. It
will bring $20 million over the next six years for
aviation infrastructure, safety, rural air service,
grant matches and economic development. It becomes
effective January 1, 2016.
