Construct apron

The City of Clarendon, Arkansas received a $448,028.42 Project Grant award on July 25, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). The grant funds the construction of a new 1,600 square yard hangar apron at Clarendon-area airport facilities to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards. The project has a completion deadline of July 24, 2029, allowing sufficient time for design, construction, and project closeout activities typical of airport infrastructure improvements under this program.

The apron construction project supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by enhancing airport infrastructure capacity and safety compliance. As a municipal government entity with a demonstrated track record of managing federal infrastructure grants, the City of Clarendon serves as the primary grant recipient and will oversee project implementation. This investment represents the FAA's commitment to maintaining adequate airport infrastructure across the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems to support civil aeronautics needs and economic development in rural Arkansas.
