Reconstruct taxiway lighting; shift or reconfigure existing taxiway

The Michigan Department of Transportation received a $1.7 million project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs on August 30, 2022. The grant will fund reconstruction of taxiway lighting systems and reconfiguration of taxiway connectors at airports in Michigan's state block grant program to meet FAA design standards through August 2029. As the state block grant administrator, Michigan DOT will oversee sub-awards for nonprimary airports to reconstruct lighting reaching the end of its useful life and shift taxiways as needed to comply with federal standards, with this final grant phase funding construction activities. The funding aims to increase safety and efficiency at regional airports in Michigan.
