Update airport master plan

The City of Lake Village received a $242,970.53 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southwestern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to update the existing airport master plan. The award, obligated on August 6, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 5, 2029, will fund the development of an updated airport layout plan accompanied by a comprehensive master plan narrative. This planning project will provide the City of Lake Village with critical infrastructure planning documentation necessary for guiding future airport development and modernization efforts.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and legacy COVID-19 relief grants, supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. Master planning grants of this type typically serve as foundational planning documents that airports maintain and update to support the development of a nationwide system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. Upon completion, the City of Lake Village will be required to maintain the updated airport layout plan and supporting documentation for the duration of the grant agreement, ordinarily a period of 20 years.
