Update airport master plan

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a $571,649.47 project grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Greater Lafourche Port Commission on July 17, 2025, with a completion date of July 16, 2029. The grant funds an update to the existing airport master plan for airports associated with Galliano, Louisiana. Master planning projects under this federal program typically support comprehensive planning activities that establish long-term infrastructure development strategies, capital improvement priorities, and operational frameworks for public-use airport systems.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA, provides federal funding to support the development, modernization, and maintenance of airport infrastructure nationwide. As a planning-phase project, this award will enable the port commission to develop or refresh strategic infrastructure planning documents that guide future airport improvements and investments. The four-year project period allows adequate time for comprehensive master plan development, stakeholder engagement, and documentation required to support subsequent infrastructure investment projects at the Galliano airport facilities.
