The Kenton County Airport Board received a $20.34 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to reconstruct apron pavement at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). Awarded on September 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 18, 2029, this grant funds Phase 1 of a comprehensive apron reconstruction project that will address 246,000 square yards of existing Concourse A apron pavement that has reached the end of its useful life. Phase 1 encompasses design and construction of 52,900 square yards of apron pavement at the Cincinnati, Kentucky facility.

This funding supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by modernizing critical airport infrastructure. The Airport Improvement Program provides federal grants to assist airport sponsors in developing and maintaining a nationwide system of public-use airports capable of meeting civil aeronautics needs while supporting long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. The project directly supports airport operations and safety for this medium-hub commercial service airport serving the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati metropolitan region.
