flag South Dakota expands its housing fund to offer zero-interest airport loans up to $15M for large cities.

flag A South Dakota Senate committee has unanimously approved legislation allowing the state’s $200 million Housing Infrastructure Fund to provide zero-interest, 20-year loans of up to $15 million to airports in metropolitan areas with at least 125,000 residents, such as Sioux Falls and Rapid City. flag The change expands the fund’s use beyond housing to include airport infrastructure, with repayments going back into the fund to preserve its long-term sustainability. flag The bill also increases the maximum loan amount to half of a project’s cost and includes site work as eligible expenses, aiming to address funding gaps that delay development. flag The move reflects broad support for investing in public infrastructure to boost economic growth, especially in remote areas.
