DEPARTMENT: Executive
ORIGINATOR: Simreet Dhaliwal-Gill
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved (A. Boungjaktha 8/7/24)
PURPOSE: To approve and authorize the County Executive to sign the Local Programs State Funding Agreement Supplement for Washington State Department of Transportation for Sustainable Aviation Fuels.
BACKGROUND: Snohomish County and Washington State University are establishing a world-leading Sustainable Aviation Fuels Research and Development Center at Paine Field. Earlier in 2023, the plan received a crucial $6.5 million allocation from the State legislature. The budget allocation states that funds shall support planning and establishing facilities to evaluate, qualify or certify, and research technologies that can minimize the impact of aviation on human health and the environment. Funds may be used for, but are not limited to, planning, construction, and land acquisition for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) qualification testing research on the impact of SAF on the environment and human health, and SAF storage for the purpose of advancing sustainable aviation. The SAF Center will have a significant impact on the climate economy locally and worldwide and could create widespread investment and jobs in the region. The Snohomish County Council passed the original agreement on January 24th, 2024. This supplement amends the agreement to move Task 3 funds into Task 1 to allocate more towards a consultant to develop a business plan for the SAF Center.
