Update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Gordon Airport Authority a formula grant of $164,210.53 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 23, 2025, to update the airport's master plan. The project activities include updating the existing airport layout plan with comprehensive master plan narrative documentation. This grant funds a portion of the eligible project costs, with the remaining eligible expenses supported by a complementary Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) grant. The award is designed to enhance airport infrastructure planning and ensure compliance with current FAA standards for the Gordon, Nebraska airport facility.

The grant will be obligated through July 22, 2029, providing a four-year project period for completion of the master plan update. As is standard for Airport Improvement Program awards, Gordon Airport Authority must maintain updated airport layout plans and retain accounting records for the prescribed retention periods. This planning initiative supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while contributing to long-term economic benefits through improved airport infrastructure documentation and modernization planning at the regional level.
