Reconstruct taxiway lighting; reconstruct runway lighting; reconstruct airfield signage/markings

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded the City of Kingman a $186,452.63 Project Grant on September 17, 2025, for the design phase of comprehensive airfield infrastructure modernization at Kingman Municipal Airport. This Phase 1 award funds the design and planning activities necessary to reconstruct runway lighting systems on Runways 03/21 and 17/35, taxiway lighting on Taxiways A, C, and D, and airfield signage and markings—all of which have reached the end of their useful operational life. The project period extends through September 16, 2029, allowing sufficient time for design completion and subsequent construction phases.

The grant directly supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits by modernizing critical airport infrastructure serving the Kingman, Arizona region. As a Phase 1 design project, this funding enables the development of comprehensive engineering plans and specifications necessary for future construction phases, which will enhance navigational safety and operational efficiency at the airport. The City of Kingman, an experienced airport grant recipient with a demonstrated track record of successfully managing FAA-funded infrastructure projects totaling over $1.2 million, will serve as the grant recipient and project sponsor.
