Reconstruct hangar

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) $141,800 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 10, 2025, for a four-year project period concluding September 9, 2029. This Project Grant provides federal funding to support IDOT's administration of a state block grant program that distributes Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout Illinois. The grant enables IDOT to serve as the pass-through entity managing federal aviation infrastructure investments at eligible state airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems.

Under this award, IDOT authorized a sub-award to the City of Taylorville on April 18, 2026, to rehabilitate a hangar roof at a local airport facility. This locally-let project, funded on a reimbursement basis from program revenues, exemplifies the types of infrastructure improvements supported through the state block grant program, which also encompasses taxiway rehabilitation, pavement and lighting upgrades, and other critical airport facility enhancements. The grant structure allows IDOT to efficiently allocate federal resources across multiple nonprimary airport sponsors throughout the state while maintaining compliance with FAA requirements and federal stewardship standards.
