The City of Kanab received a $1,366,458.54 formula grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs, awarded on August 13, 2025. The grant funds Phase 2 of a comprehensive airport infrastructure modernization project at Kanab Municipal Airport in Kanab, Utah, with an ultimate completion date of August 12, 2029. The project delivers three primary products: installation of a new runway visual guidance system including a wind cone and segmented circle navigational aids; expansion of the existing east apron by 20,200 square yards to conform with current FAA standards; and installation of a precision approach path indicator (PAPI) system for Runway 1/19 at the runway threshold to enhance approach safety.
