This $760,000 Project Grant awarded by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Great Lakes Region will fund the construction of a 21,850 square yard west apron at the Kentland Municipal Airport in Kentland, Indiana. The grant provides federal funding for the final phase of this airport infrastructure project, which includes paving, markings, and electrical improvements. This grant is issued under the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106), which contribute to the FAA's strategic goals of safety, people, global leadership, and operational excellence. The project will benefit the existing users of the Kentland Municipal Airport, a U.S. local government entity that operates the airport under the name Layman Aviation. The airport has successfully leveraged over $3 million in prior federal aviation grants to upgrade its facilities and continue providing essential transportation services to the local community.
