Update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $302,500 in Formula Grant funding to the Bowman County Airport Authority on July 11, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). The grant funds the update of the airport's existing Airport Layout Plan and master plan narrative, with a project completion date of July 10, 2029. This planning deliverable is intended to modernize the airport's master documentation and support strategic infrastructure development for the regional airport serving Bowman, North Dakota.

This award is part of the FAA's broader Airport Improvement Program initiative, which assists public-use airport sponsors in developing a nationwide system of airports that meets civil aeronautics needs. The Bowman County Airport Authority, a local government entity managing airport infrastructure in Bowman County, has received multiple progressive grants since 2021 as part of a multi-phase airport development initiative. The updated master plan and layout plan narrative will support long-term airport infrastructure improvements and operational efficiency while maintaining compliance with federal grant requirements, including the mandatory 20-year retention of current airport layout plans as a condition of the grant agreement.
