This $17,066,666.67 federal Project Grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106) will fund various infrastructure improvements at airports associated with Marshall, Alaska. The key products and services to be delivered include:

Reconstructing taxiway and runway lighting systems that have reached the end of their useful life to meet FAA standards; rehabilitating the main airport apron, runway, taxiway, and access road to maintain structural integrity; rehabilitating the airport's rotating beacon and replacing wind cone/segmented circle to meet FAA design requirements; and improving/modifying the existing snow removal equipment building to extend its useful life. This multi-year, multi-phase project is intended to enhance the safety and operations of the affected airports in Alaska.
