The City of Idaho Falls received a $271,742.11 project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to conduct and update a terminal area narrative report for a terminal expansion project at Idaho Falls Regional Airport. The award, obligated on August 4, 2025, with a completion date of August 3, 2029, will support planning and design-phase activities necessary for documenting and analyzing the proposed terminal expansion initiative. This planning grant deliverable will provide the technical foundation and federal documentation required to advance the airport's infrastructure modernization efforts and support future construction phases of the terminal project.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants, supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through airport infrastructure investment. Planning-phase awards such as this terminal area narrative report grant typically range from approximately $300,000 to support design and planning activities, with project periods spanning four years to accommodate comprehensive project development and documentation requirements.
