The City of Pittsburg, Kansas received a $1,077,368.42 Project Grant award on August 19, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). This grant funds the final construction phase of a multi-phase airport infrastructure project at Pittsburg's municipal airport facilities. The funded work includes reconstruction of 1,030 feet of existing hanger taxiway pavement and 200 feet of hanger taxilane pavement that have reached the end of their useful life, as well as resealing of 1,400 feet of connecting taxiway pavement and joints to extend service life. The project is scheduled for completion by August 18, 2029.

The grant represents partial federal funding for the overall project, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funding the remaining eligible project costs. As a non-primary airport facility project, these improvements support the FAA's strategic objectives of maintaining safe and efficient airport infrastructure while supporting civil aeronautics needs. The City of Pittsburg, as a municipal government entity, will serve as the grant recipient and project sponsor responsible for oversight and compliance with FAA requirements throughout the performance period.
