Reconstruct parking lot

The existing parking facility had reached the end of its useful life and required full reconstruction. The project is scheduled for completion by August 16, 2029, allowing a four-year timeline to accommodate design, construction, and closeout activities typical of FAA airport infrastructure projects.

The Airport Improvement Program provides federal funding to public-use airports for modernization and maintenance of airport infrastructure nationwide, including pavement rehabilitation and facility improvements.
