Reseal/resurface runway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Boone County Airport a Project Grant totaling $472,752.63 on July 23, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). This grant funds a portion of a runway reseal and resurface project that will extend the useful life of 6,161 linear feet of existing Runway 18/36 pavement at this nonprimary airport located in Harrison, Arkansas. The project is scheduled for completion by July 22, 2029, and is supplemented by an additional Airport Improvement Program Supplemental Discretionary Grant that covers the remaining eligible project costs.

The grant directly supports infrastructure maintenance and operational safety at Boone County Airport by addressing pavement deterioration through reseal and resurface activities. This project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining a comprehensive nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to serve civil aeronautics needs. As a local government entity, Boone County Airport must maintain airport layout plans, retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting, and submit periodic progress reports documenting project bidding, contract awards, and work completion status throughout the grant period.
