This phase encompasses the construction of 244 linear feet of taxilane, representing part of a comprehensive 1,143-foot taxilane project designed to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive designated aircraft tie-down area and bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards. The project is scheduled for completion by September 21, 2029.

This award exemplifies the program's focus on safety and operational excellence by improving airfield infrastructure and accessibility. As a non-profit entity managing regional aviation infrastructure, the Georgetown-Scott County Airport Corporation has demonstrated consistent engagement with FAA funding mechanisms, with this taxilane project representing one component of the airport's strategic, phased approach to long-term infrastructure enhancement totaling approximately $2.25 million in federal support.
