This project grant provides federal funding to support taxiway reseal and resurface activities at nonprimary airports within Michigan as part of the state's Airport Improvement Program block grant administration.

The funding enables critical airport infrastructure maintenance and modernization consistent with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence. As a state-level recipient with extensive experience managing federal transportation infrastructure grants exceeding $220 million in recent obligations, MDOT will oversee project execution, financial management, and compliance reporting throughout the performance period.
