This $1.9 million project grant from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, awarded on September 22, 2022 and set to be completed by September 21, 2026, will fund runway rehabilitation and remarking under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106). The grant provides 100% federal share to the Illinois Department of Transportation to administer sub-awards for nonprimary airports in the state. Specifically, this award will rehabilitate 5,000 feet of Runway 13/31 at an unspecified airport to maintain pavement integrity. A sub-award of $TBD to the Jacksonville Airport Authority will resurface and remark Runway 13-31 and associated taxiways. The funding advances the FAA's goals of safety, efficiency and global leadership in air transportation by supporting infrastructure upgrades at general aviation airports in Illinois.
