ACI-NA commends House for tax relief extension

Airports Council International - North America (ACI-NA) applauded (24-Mar-2010) the US House of Representatives passage of HR 4849, the Small Business and Infrastructure Jobs Tax Act of 2010, that includes a provision extending the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) relief for private activity bonds (PABs) provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) through 2011.

Airports Council International - North America: "Airports serve as a true testimony to how this provision has made a significant difference in the bond market. Airports have sold almost $10 billion in bonds since the passage of the stimulus in 2009. This has had a phenomenal impact on airports, benefiting passengers and the economy as airports are now equipped to fund important safety and security projects and in doing so have created thousands of jobs."
