Rehabilitate terminal access road

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Illinois Department of Transportation $130,392.63 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 8, 2025, for the administration of a state block grant program supporting nonprimary airport infrastructure improvements across Illinois. Under this project grant, which extends through September 7, 2029, IDOT serves as the prime awardee responsible for managing federal funding distribution and oversight of sub-awards to eligible airports within the state. The grant program facilitates airport infrastructure development and maintenance in accordance with FAA strategic objectives for safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.

As demonstrated through the initial sub-award, IDOT distributed funds to Logan County Airport (awarded December 15, 2025) for terminal access road rehabilitation, including entrance road and parking lot improvements. This funding structure enables the state transportation agency to efficiently allocate federal resources to multiple nonprimary airports throughout Illinois, supporting essential infrastructure projects that enhance airport operational capacity and safety without requiring direct federal-to-airport grant administration relationships.
