This grant funds the design phase of a comprehensive runway rehabilitation project that will reconstruct 6,001 linear feet of Runway 15/33 pavement, which has reached the end of its useful life. The project is scheduled for completion by August 27, 2029.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA, provides federal grants to public-use airports for infrastructure development, modernization, and maintenance projects necessary to support civil aeronautics and long-term economic benefits. This Phase 2 design award represents the initial planning stage of a multi-phase airport infrastructure improvement initiative, with subsequent construction phases anticipated to follow upon completion of the design phase. As a recipient of AIP funding, the City of Lincoln must maintain airport layout plans and project documentation throughout the 20-year grant agreement period and submit periodic progress reports detailing project bidding, contract awards, and work completion milestones.
