南达科他州扩大其住房基金,为大城市提供不超过1 500万加元的零息机场贷款。 South Dakota expands its housing fund to offer zero-interest airport loans up to $15M for large cities.

南达科他州参议院的一个委员会一致批准了立法,允许州2亿美元的住房基础设施基金向苏福尔斯和快速市等至少有125 000名居民的大都会地区的机场提供高达1 500万美元、为期20年的无息贷款。 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. 这一变化扩大了基金在住房以外的用途,将机场基础设施也包括在内,还款回还基金,以保持基金的长期可持续性。 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. 该法案还将最高贷款额提高到项目费用的一半,并将工地工作列为合格费用,目的是解决延迟开发的资金缺口。 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. 这一转变反映了对投资公共基础设施以促进经济增长的广泛支持,特别是在偏远地区。 The move reflects broad support for investing in public infrastructure to boost economic growth, especially in remote areas.
