The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant of $414,104.21 to the City of Goshen under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 29, 2025, for Phase 1 design services related to airfield infrastructure improvements at Goshen Municipal Airport. The grant funds the design phase for three primary airport improvement activities: expansion of the existing West Apron by 5,306 square yards to accommodate additional based aircraft; extension of Taxilane C by 678 linear feet to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area; and relocation of Taxiway A4 by 120 feet. These improvements are intended to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards and support long-term airport operational capacity.

The project is scheduled for completion by August 28, 2029, reflecting a four-year performance period typical for Airport Improvement Program awards that encompass design, environmental review, and planning activities. As a Phase 1 design project, this grant establishes the foundation for subsequent construction phases and enables the City of Goshen to advance critical infrastructure planning necessary to enhance airport safety, operational efficiency, and economic development potential at the facility.
