Anyone know how to get the list of communities that are in line for that
$308 million?


Some large aircarrier airports may be named directly because their
Congressional representative(s) have the pull to get a large sum of
money for a major project.
General Aviation airports are handled through block grants to each
respective state's aviation governing body. The state agencies then
appropriate their share of the pie based on local politics and need.


No.

The airport manager has to apply for the grant money. Feds and state
have different accounts available for disbursal. I posted the link
to www.airportgrants.com because my buddy Colleen has a business
assisting airports with grant writing. If you talk to her or her
partner, ask if you can get a copy of the summary of available grants
and how to get them that they did for the state of Nevada. It's a
long report.
