The City of Council received a $1,664,297.89 project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 22, 2025, to rehabilitate and expand airport infrastructure at Council Municipal Airport in Council, Idaho. The grant funds a portion of a larger infrastructure improvement initiative and supports the following projects: rehabilitation of 3,600 linear feet of Runway 17/35; rehabilitation of 425 linear feet of Taxiway C and 425 linear feet of Taxiway B; rehabilitation of 200 linear feet of Taxiway A; and rehabilitation of 9,023 square yards of existing General Aviation (GA) apron pavement. These rehabilitation efforts are designed to maintain structural pavement integrity, extend asset useful life, and minimize foreign object debris hazards.

Additionally, the grant funds the expansion of the GA apron by 750 square yards to bring the airport into conformance with current Federal Aviation Administration standards. The project period extends through July 21, 2029, and is coordinated with a companion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grant that funds the remaining eligible project costs. Upon completion, these infrastructure improvements will enhance the airport's safety, operational efficiency, and compliance with federal airport system standards while supporting civil aeronautics needs in the region.
