The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) a Project Grant totaling $564,991.58 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to administer a state block grant program for airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Illinois. The award, effective September 4, 2025, through September 3, 2029, enables IDOT to distribute federal funding to eligible airports within the state for capital improvement projects that enhance safety, operational efficiency, and long-term economic benefits across Illinois's aviation infrastructure system.

IDOT distributed funds through this grant to sub-awardees to execute airport infrastructure projects, including a master drainage study at Waukegan Regional Airport (awarded November 11, 2025) and hangar door replacement at the Village of Lansing airport facility (awarded September 23, 2025). These sub-awards support facility rehabilitation and improvements consistent with the Airport Improvement Program's objectives of developing and maintaining adequate public-use airport infrastructure to meet civil aeronautics needs across the state.
