Reseal apron pavement

The City of Atchison received a $275,000 Project Grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 14, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 13, 2029. The grant funds the resealing of 55,650 square yards of existing aircraft parking apron pavement at Atchison Municipal Airport, a non-primary airport, to extend the useful life of the infrastructure. This award represents a portion of the total project funding, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant covering the remaining eligible project costs.

The project directly supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and infrastructure resilience by addressing critical airport infrastructure maintenance. The apron pavement resealing will enhance airport operational efficiency and safety while preserving long-term infrastructure viability. As a recipient of FAA grants, the City of Atchison is required to maintain current airport layout plans, retain accounting records for three years following final expenditure submission, and provide periodic progress reports documenting project bidding, contract awards, work initiation, and completion status.
