Project Grant 32000340172024

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), will deliver critical infrastructure improvements at the Hugoton Airport in Hugoton, Kansas. The $598,934.44 grant funds the final phase of a comprehensive project to reconstruct the existing runway and taxiway lighting, install a new runway visual guidance system, and replace aging airfield guidance signs. Specifically, the grant will install precision approach path indicators and runway end identifier lights to bring the airport into conformity with current standards, as well as reconstruct 11 existing airfield signs and the lighting on Runway 2/20 and Taxiway A that have reached the end of their useful life. The County of Stevens, the local government entity serving as the grant recipient, will oversee the implementation of these airport infrastructure upgrades, which are scheduled for completion by July 23, 2028.
