The Capital Region International Airport is a primary airport and has received federal funds authorized for airport development after January 1988 (authorized under Title 49 of the United States Code).

The CRAA has signed airport grant assurances that it will comply with 49 CFR Part 23. It is the policy of the CRAA to ensure that ACDBEs as defined in Part 23 have an equal opportunity to receive and participate in concession opportunities.
