Construct/expand hangar; construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $264,609.47 to the Michigan Department of Transportation under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 7, 2025, for airport infrastructure improvements in Michigan. This Project Grant is structured as a state block grant program that enables MDOT to administer Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout Michigan. The specific projects funded under this award include hangar construction/expansion and taxilane construction at eligible airports within the state, with a project completion date of August 6, 2029.

As the administering entity, MDOT will distribute and oversee federal funding to qualifying nonprimary airports in Michigan, ensuring compliance with FAA requirements and project performance standards. The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding along with Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and legacy COVID-19 relief appropriations, supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. This grant positions nonprimary Michigan airports to enhance their operational capacity and infrastructure systems through federally funded construction initiatives over the four-year award period.
