Reconstruct runway lighting; reconstruct taxiway lighting

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Southern Region awarded $232,631.58 to Breckinridge County Airport through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 26, 2025, for the reconstruction of runway and taxiway lighting infrastructure. Specifically, the grant funds the reconstruction of lighting systems on Runway 10/28 and Taxiway A, both of which have reached the end of their useful life. This project grant represents a portion of the total airport improvement project, with an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funding the remaining eligible project costs. The project is scheduled for completion by August 25, 2029.

The Breckinridge County Airport, operated by the County of Breckinridge in Hardinsburg, Kentucky, will utilize these federal funds to modernize critical airfield lighting infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient aircraft operations. As a civilian public-use airport, the facility benefits from the FAA's strategic investment in airport infrastructure development and safety objectives through the Airport Improvement Program, which supports the nationwide system of airports necessary to meet civil aeronautics needs.
