Expand apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), awarded $167,313.68 to the Sioux County Regional Airport Agency on June 24, 2025, to support the expansion of the south apron at Maurice Regional Airport in Maurice, Iowa. The primary deliverable is the addition of 4,000 square yards to the existing apron, which will bring the airport into conformity with current FAA design standards. This project is scheduled for completion by June 23, 2029, and represents a portion of the total airport expansion initiative, with additional funding provided through an Airport Improvement Program grant and a Bipartisan Infrastructure Law award for the remaining eligible project costs.

The apron expansion project supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and infrastructure resilience while enhancing the regional transportation infrastructure capabilities of Sioux County. This award is part of the Sioux County Regional Airport Agency's broader phased development strategy to increase general aviation apron capacity to 12,500 square yards and improve overall airport infrastructure to meet contemporary aviation standards and support regional economic development.
