MDOT serves as the state block grant administrator, distributing federal funding to eligible nonprimary airports across Michigan for runway reconstruction, apron resurfacing, taxiway lighting, and hangar improvements. The award covers work performed statewide at multiple counties and regions throughout Michigan, with a period of performance extending to May 12, 2030.

The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, established as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides $14.5 billion over five years starting in fiscal year 2022, including up to $500 million dedicated to nonprimary airport projects. Funds support investments in runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal, airport transit connections, and roadway projects. Environmental impact assessments and preapplication coordination are required. Grant recipients must retain accounting records and project documentation for three years after final expenditure report submission and maintain an airport layout plan for the duration of the grant agreement, ordinarily twenty years.
