Homeowners near busy airports could get help fixing old soundproofing that no longer works or caused damage.
This bill would create a pilot program at up to four major airports to help homeowners repair or replace old, damaged sound insulation. If passed, it would make it easier for airports to get federal help for these projects, benefiting residents bothered by airplane noise. The program would focus on homes where the original soundproofing was installed before 2002 and is now failing.
Today, it is difficult for airports to get federal funds to fix sound insulation that was already paid for by the government, especially if it's old or failing. This bill would create a new pilot program, allowing up to four major airports to get federal help for these repairs and replacements. This means more homeowners near these airports could get assistance for soundproofing installed before 2002 that is no longer effective or has caused damage.
