PROJECT SUMMARY & BUDGET
(Amended by KM) Boulder is requesting a fuel subsidy grant in the amount of $63,000 to reach $70,000 in total funding for this project. It is estimated that 50% or greater of based aircraft operations will transition based on commitments from glider tow operators and flight schools based in Boulder to transition to unleaded when it becomes available. Boulder intends to enter into agreement with the FBO in March to require procurement of unleaded fuel infrastructure within 60 days of agreement while Boulder simultaneously seeks fuel subsidy from CDOT.
