Expand terminal; reconstruct terminal

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration New England Region awarded $1,429,392.63 to Dukes County, Massachusetts on August 6, 2026 under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to fund design work for terminal expansion and reconstruction at Martha's Vineyard Airport in Vineyard Haven.

The project expands the existing terminal by 15,000 square feet, including holdrooms, baggage screening, and security checkpoints, and reconstructs 5,000 square feet of existing terminal space that has reached the end of its useful life. The expansion and reconstruction will facilitate passenger and baggage movement and bring the airport into conformity with current standards. This award funds a portion of Phase 4 design and a portion of Phase 5 design; an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funds the remaining eligible portion of the phases.

The period of performance runs through August 5, 2030. Work is performed in Vineyard Haven, Tisbury, Massachusetts.
