Extend/expand taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Siloam Springs, Arkansas a $172,300 Project Grant on September 19, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which also encompasses Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Programs and COVID-19 Airports Programs. The grant funds Phase 1 design services for the extension and expansion of the existing North Hangar taxilane by an additional 1,100 feet, enabling airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area at the Siloam Springs airport. Upon completion by September 18, 2029, this infrastructure improvement will bring the airport into conformity with current federal standards while supporting regional economic development and civil aviation needs.

The Airport Improvement Program provides federal grants to eligible public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems to support infrastructure modernization and development. This award represents a typical design-phase planning project, with future construction phases anticipated to follow upon completion of the design work. As with all Airport Improvement Program recipients, the City of Siloam Springs will be required to maintain current airport layout plans, retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting, and submit periodic project status reports documenting bid activities, contract awards, and work progress to the FAA for oversight and compliance purposes.
