State block grant program nonprimary/cargo/state apportionment allocation

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Missouri Department of Transportation a $9.0 million formula grant on September 2, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to administer airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Missouri. Funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act at a 100 percent federal cost share, this State Block Grant Program award enables MoDOT to allocate and oversee sub-awards for various airport capital projects. The grant period extends from the award date through September 1, 2029.

MoDOT distributed these funds across seven sub-awardee municipalities for targeted airport infrastructure projects, including runway and taxiway rehabilitation at Clinton; runway lighting system upgrades at Mexico; taxilane reconstruction at Boonville; and hangar construction at Mountain Grove, Trenton, and Malden. Additionally, Malden received funding for a runway feasibility study, and Hannibal received support for runway lighting improvements. These sub-awards, issued between November 2025 and April 2026, represent the state's strategic investment in maintaining and modernizing critical aviation infrastructure across Missouri's nonprimary airport network to support regional economic development and civil aviation operations.
