Construct/expand snow removal equipment building

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation $588,825.26 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 18, 2025, for the construction and expansion of a snow removal equipment building. This project grant supports Michigan's state block grant program, which administers Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout the state. The award will provide essential federal funding to enable airport infrastructure improvements that enhance operational capacity and safety at eligible Michigan airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems.

The project period extends from the award date through August 17, 2029, allowing sufficient time for design, construction, and project closeout activities. As administrator of the state block grant program, the Michigan Department of Transportation will allocate these funds to support airport infrastructure development at nonprimary airports across Michigan, with the snow removal equipment building serving as a critical facility to support year-round airport operations and winter weather response capabilities. The scope aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.
