Reconstruct taxiway; reconstruct apron

The Michigan Department of Transportation received a Project Grant of $126,631.58 awarded on August 21, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), administered by the Federal Aviation Administration's Great Lakes Region office. This grant provides state block grant program funding to enable Michigan to administer Airport Improvement Program sub-awards for nonprimary airports within the state. The primary project activities involve the reconstruction of taxiway and apron infrastructure at eligible Michigan airports through the state's block grant administration mechanism.

As a state block grant program award, the funding supports Michigan's capacity to distribute federal resources to multiple nonprimary airport facilities across the state, with improvements focused on airfield pavement infrastructure essential for safe airport operations. The grant period extends through August 20, 2029, providing a four-year implementation timeline consistent with FAA project completion standards. By channeling funding through the state transportation agency, the program enables coordinated infrastructure improvements at regional and smaller airports throughout Michigan that support the Federal Aviation Administration's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence in the national airport system.
