Rehabilitate taxiway; reseal apron pavement; rehabilitate runway

The City of Bloomfield, Iowa received a Project Grant award of $115,789.48 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses traditional Airport Improvement Program funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants. The award, obligated on August 7, 2025, with a completion deadline of August 6, 2029, funds critical pavement rehabilitation work at Bloomfield's non-primary general aviation airport. Specifically, the project will reseal 2,200 square yards of existing apron pavement to extend its useful life and includes taxiway and runway rehabilitation activities.

This grant directly supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits by maintaining and modernizing airport infrastructure essential to civil aeronautics. The project aligns with Bloomfield's demonstrated commitment to airport infrastructure investment, as the municipality has received over $450,000 in recent FAA grants for extensive airport rehabilitation, including prior runway and taxiway improvements. The four-year project period accommodates design, construction, and closeout activities typical of Airport Improvement Program awards.
