Reconstruct terminal

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) a $2,105,263.16 project grant under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). The award, issued September 2, 2025, with a completion deadline of September 1, 2029, establishes a state block grant program through which MDOT will administer sub-awards to support airport improvement projects at nonprimary airports throughout Michigan. The grant enables MDOT to allocate federal funding for terminal reconstruction and other critical airport infrastructure enhancements that strengthen Michigan's aviation system.

Through this block grant structure, MDOT serves as the administering entity for the distribution and oversight of Airport Improvement Program funds to eligible airports within the state. This approach allows MDOT to leverage its established expertise in transportation infrastructure management to coordinate comprehensive airport improvements across Michigan's nonprimary airport network, ensuring resources are strategically directed to address safety, operational efficiency, and long-term economic benefits consistent with FAA strategic objectives.
