The City of Osceola, Iowa received a $112,587.78 formula grant award from the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Central Region to construct a 1,300 foot parallel taxiway at the Osceola Municipal Airport. Funded through the Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA #20.106), this project will eliminate the need for aircraft to back-taxi on the runway by providing a dedicated taxiway. Specifically, this third phase of the parallel taxiway construction will fund the acquisition of two acres of land. By improving airport infrastructure and operations, this formula grant aims to contribute to the Federal Aviation Administration's strategic goals of safety, supporting aviation workforce needs, maintaining global leadership in aviation, and achieving organizational excellence. The August 3, 2022 award is anticipated to be completed by August 2, 2026.
