These improvements are intended to extend the useful life of existing airport infrastructure.

With an anticipated completion date of September 17, 2029, this grant represents the FAA's investment in maintaining and modernizing airport infrastructure to support civil aeronautics operations and long-term economic benefits in the region. As a local government entity with demonstrated experience managing airport infrastructure projects, Allen Parish Police Jury will execute the design phase in preparation for subsequent construction activities.
