The Utah Transportation Commission made a significant move during its June 27 meeting, approving the 2026-2030 Airport Capital Improvement Plan. The motion was swiftly passed with unanimous support, highlighting the commission's commitment to enhancing airport infrastructure across the state.

In addition to the airport plan, the commission addressed a crucial funding request from Saratoga Springs. The city is seeking a $3.7 million loan from the State Infrastructure Bank to expedite several roadway projects. This loan, proposed for a 15-year term, is set at an interest rate of 4.7%, based on the current AAA general obligation bond rate. The funding will support a total of $44 million in ongoing projects, underscoring the city's proactive approach to improving its transportation network.

These decisions reflect the commission's ongoing efforts to bolster Utah's infrastructure, ensuring that both airport and roadway developments keep pace with the state's growth. As these projects move forward, they promise to enhance connectivity and support economic development in the region.
