Reseal/resurface runway; rehabilitate runway

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Central Region awarded $376,227.37 to the City of Iowa City on April 13, 2026, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) to rehabilitate and resurface runway infrastructure at Iowa City Municipal Airport.

The project rehabilitates 3,000 feet of existing paved Runway 07/25 to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris, and reseals and resurfaces 3,900 feet of existing Runway 12/30 pavement and joints. Both activities extend the useful life of the nonprimary airport's runway system. Performance runs through April 12, 2030, at Iowa City, Iowa. The Airport Improvement Program assists sponsors of public-use airports in developing a nationwide system adequate to civil aeronautics needs through investment in airport infrastructure supporting long-term economic benefits.
