This $280,000 Project Grant, awarded on July 3, 2023, by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Central Region, will fund the construction of a 2,000-foot parallel taxiway for Runway 17/35 at the airport in Atwood, Kansas. This project is part of the FAA's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which supports infrastructure and safety improvements at airports across the United States. The taxiway construction will eliminate the need for aircraft to back-taxi on the runway, improving overall airport operations and safety. The grant will cover 29.82% of the complete project, with the remaining funding provided through a separate FAA Airport Improvement Program grant for the airport.
