The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Northwest Mountain Region, awarded a Project Grant of $1,929,014.74 to the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport Authority on September 8, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). The award funds critical infrastructure improvements at Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport through two primary deliverables: (1) installation of new lighting on Taxiway B to ensure compliance with current Federal Aviation Administration standards, and (2) rehabilitation of 1,602 feet of existing paved Taxiway B to preserve pavement structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris that could compromise aircraft safety and operational efficiency.
