Reconstruct taxiway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Michigan Department of Transportation a $167,368.42 Project Grant on September 4, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support taxiway reconstruction at nonprimary airports. This grant funds a state block grant program that enables Michigan to administer and distribute Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to eligible nonprimary airports throughout the state. The project carries an ultimate completion date of September 3, 2029, allowing a four-year performance period typical for airport infrastructure initiatives.

Through this award, Michigan Department of Transportation will deliver federal infrastructure funding to airports within the state block grant program, enabling eligible nonprimary airport sponsors to undertake critical taxiway improvements. The Airport Improvement Program supports development, modernization, and maintenance of airport infrastructure to ensure a safe and efficient airport system adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. As the state's designated administrator, MDOT will manage the sub-award process, ensuring compliance with FAA requirements and supporting participating airports in achieving their infrastructure development objectives.
