What this means

The board approved money to help market McKinney National Airport and attract or support commercial air service. The plan sets up incentives for new nonstop routes and puts limits on how much each airline can receive. The funding package also includes a one-time match for a federal air service grant, but that money would only be used if the grant is awarded.
