Construct apron; construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) a Project Grant in the amount of $306,314.74 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 11, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 10, 2029. This grant represents a state block grant program allocation that enables MDOT to administer federal funding for airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Michigan. The specific project deliverables include the construction of an airport apron and the construction of a taxilane.

As the designated state administrator, MDOT will distribute these federal funds as sub-awards to eligible nonprimary airports within Michigan to support their infrastructure development activities. The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act appropriations, supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. This funding will directly benefit Michigan's nonprimary airport system by enabling critical airfield infrastructure improvements necessary to maintain safe and efficient airport operations.
