Reconstruct airport drainage/erosion control

The City of Medicine Lodge, Kansas received a $267,521.05 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 24, 2025, to reconstruct existing airport drainage infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life. This Phase One award funds design and AGIS (Airport Geographic Information System) survey activities necessary to plan the comprehensive drainage and erosion control reconstruction project. The grant is complemented by separate Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding that will support the remaining eligible portions of the overall project upon completion of this planning phase. The project is expected to conclude by July 23, 2029.

The deliverables under this grant consist of professional engineering design services and geospatial survey work that will establish the technical foundation for reconstructing the airport's drainage system and implementing erosion control measures. These planning activities will enable the City of Medicine Lodge to proceed with the subsequent construction phases funded through complementary IIJA appropriations, ultimately modernizing critical airport infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient operations at the local airport facility.
