Airport Public-Private Partnerships Taking Off?

Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 02.29.12

The recently enacted FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 caps the budget for airport improvement funds through FY15, which likely will prompt airports to consider using public-private partnerships (P3s) for infrastructure improvements. Illustrative of this potential, earlier this month the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced it is continuing to explore a P3 to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain a new, $3.6 billion Central Terminal Building at LaGuardia Airport and has received "significant interest" from investors, airport construction and development companies, facility operations and management firms, and concession developers in response to an initial request for information.

Twin Executive Orders Seek to Spur Quantum Leap in Technology and Cybersecurity

On June 22, 2026, President Trump signed two executive orders, “Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks” (Quantum Security EO) and “Ushering in the Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation” (Quantum Innovation EO), marking the most significant federal action on quantum technology since the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act of 2022, which directed agencies to harden their information systems against quantum-enabled hacking. The orders seek to speed the development of quantum computers, which are advanced processors that can calculate multiple possibilities simultaneously and thus solve problems exponentially faster than traditional computers. At the same time, the orders look to protect against the danger that quantum technology can “break” traditional encryption by easily decoding it. Of particular note for government contractors, the Quantum Security EO directs agencies to update federal acquisition regulations to require contractors by 2031 to adopt information processing standards that resist quantum-enabled codebreaking....
