Construct service road; construct taxilane

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region awarded Bishop International Airport Authority $4,842,485.26 on July 7, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to construct a new 1,200-foot undesignated taxilane and a new 6,000-foot paved, non-public use service road at Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan. The taxilane will provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area; the service road will provide designated personnel and vehicles an alternate path to access airport operations areas. Both projects bring the airport into conformity with current standards. This award funds the final construction phase. The period of performance extends through July 6, 2030. Work is performed in Flint, MI 48507. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, established as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides funding for runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, terminal improvements, airport transit connections, and roadway projects at eligible airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.
