Install weather reporting equipment

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded County of Moffat a $388,888.89 Project Grant on June 27, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to relocate an Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) at Craig-Moffat County Airport. This weather reporting equipment installation will provide site-specific meteorological data to support safe and efficient airport operations. The project is scheduled for completion by June 26, 2029, and will directly benefit airports associated with Craig, Colorado, which serves as the place of performance.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA's Office of Airports, supports the development and modernization of public-use airport infrastructure nationwide through capital investments. As a rural county government entity with demonstrated experience managing federal airport infrastructure projects, County of Moffat will execute this equipment relocation initiative to enhance operational capabilities and weather data collection at the local airport facility. The ASOS installation aligns with broader FAA strategic objectives to maintain safety and operational excellence within the nation's airport system.
