This Project Grant, awarded on July 9, 2025, with a completion date of July 8, 2029, funds Phase 6 of a multi-phase apron expansion project consisting of retaining wall construction. The project expands the existing general aviation apron by 1,870 square yards to accommodate increased aircraft operations and additional based aircraft at the airport facility.

The funding supports critical infrastructure development as part of the airport's long-term strategic modernization efforts. This grant represents one component of approximately $1.14 million in recent FAA awards to the airport for comprehensive improvements, including apron expansion, hangar construction, and access road extension.
