Reconstruct snow removal equipment

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation a $425,658.95 Project Grant on September 4, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses traditional Airport Improvement Program funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants. The grant establishes a state block grant program administered by Michigan to distribute Airport Improvement Program sub-awards to nonprimary airports throughout the state, with the ultimate completion date of September 3, 2029.

The primary purpose of this funding is to support the reconstruction of snow removal equipment at eligible nonprimary airports within Michigan's National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems. Through the state block grant structure, Michigan Department of Transportation will allocate federal resources to airport sponsors, owners, and operators to address critical equipment needs and maintain safe, operational airport infrastructure across the state. This award supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while enabling long-term economic benefits through essential airport infrastructure investment.
