Expand apron

This project, funded through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106), will bring the airport's apron size up to Federal Aviation Administration design standards. The grant provides 45.29% of the total project cost, with the remaining eligible portion funded through a separate bipartisan infrastructure law grant. This infrastructure improvement project is intended to benefit airport transportation in the Council Bluffs, Iowa region.
