The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Illinois Department of Transportation $187,245.26 under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106) on September 4, 2025, with a completion date of September 3, 2029. This project grant provides state block grant program funding to administer Airport Improvement Program sub-awards for nonprimary airports throughout Illinois, supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.

Under this award, the Village of Bolingbrook received a sub-grant on January 30, 2026, to design and construct two box aircraft hangars at a local airport facility. The hangar construction project represents a capital infrastructure improvement typical of AIP-funded initiatives, which support the development and modernization of airport facilities to meet civil aeronautics needs. Through this state block grant administration structure, Illinois IDOT serves as the prime administrator distributing federal aviation infrastructure funds to eligible local airport sponsors within the state.
