Acquire snow removal equipment; expand terminal building

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a $1,615,060.27 Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) Project Grant to the City of Idaho Falls, doing business as Idaho Falls Power, to support an airport infrastructure project. The grant funds Phase 1 of a 6-phase project that will expand the existing terminal building by 47,000 square feet to accommodate existing passengers, and acquire a new multitasking carrier vehicle with front mount plow and mid mount broom to enhance the airport's ability to clear the airfield during adverse weather conditions. This grant represents 1.59% of the total project cost, with the remaining phases funded through an associated Airport Improvement Program grant and a Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Airport Infrastructure Grant. The project will benefit the Idaho Falls, Idaho airport.
