Rehabilitate apron; rehabilitate taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $331,000 to the County of Clinton on July 25, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). This formula grant funds Phase 1 design work for two infrastructure rehabilitation projects at airports associated with Plattsburgh, New York: rehabilitation of 1,000 linear feet of existing taxilane pavement and rehabilitation of 11,000 square yards of existing general aviation apron pavement. These projects are designed to extend the useful life of the taxilane, maintain structural pavement integrity, and minimize foreign object debris at the airfield.

The grant will support critical airport infrastructure planning and engineering services necessary to advance toward construction phases of these rehabilitation initiatives. The award period extends through July 24, 2029, allowing adequate time for design completion and project preparation. As a formula grant under the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, this funding represents federal investment in maintaining safe and operational airport infrastructure within the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems, supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence in regional aviation facilities.
