If they can afford to. The vast majority of public airports would wither

and die with only local funding.

The federal funds and matching funds are often for large projects which may be of questionable need to the local community. My own city/county airport has a 10,000ft runway which was largely a stepping stone project for the then airport manager who was on the career progression ladder. The next one immediately started recommending a control tower. Then a county commissioner started saying there should be a regional airport halfway between this airport and another municipal airport, a distance of 60 miles. Please. Frederick, MD, airport is another example of how (the promise of) federal money destroys airport use and access.
