Construct taxilane

Daviess County received a $784,347.37 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct a new 550-foot taxilane B3 at Washington Airport in Washington, Indiana. The project, awarded on September 18, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 17, 2029, will provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area and bring the airport into conformity with current federal standards. This infrastructure improvement supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while enhancing airport capacity and economic development opportunities in the region.

The Airport Improvement Program, which administers funding through traditional AIP appropriations, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provisions, and COVID-19 relief programs, supports the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide. The taxilane construction project represents a typical airport infrastructure investment aimed at improving airfield operations and facilitating commercial hangar development that will benefit the local aviation community and regional economic growth.
