Construct airport drainage/erosion control

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $3.11 million to the Logansport Cass County Airport Authority on September 18, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct drainage and erosion control infrastructure at the Logansport Regional Airport in Logansport, Indiana. This final-phase construction project will deliver a new primary outfall drainage system with two detention basins designed to eliminate airport ponding issues and bring the facility into conformity with current FAA standards. The project is scheduled for completion by September 17, 2029.

The grant funds critical airport infrastructure improvements that support the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while enhancing long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. As a municipal airport authority, the recipient has demonstrated a consistent track record of securing federal airport improvement grants for multiple infrastructure enhancements, including taxiway rehabilitation, apron expansion, and perimeter fencing. This drainage mitigation project represents a significant investment in the airport's operational efficiency and environmental compliance, ensuring adequate water management systems necessary for safe aircraft operations and ground infrastructure protection.
