Construct perimeter fencing; rehabilitate apron

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation $319,589.47 on May 21, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to administer sub-awards for perimeter fencing construction and apron rehabilitation at nonprimary airports within Michigan.

The award funds a state block grant program through which MDOT distributes federal Airport Infrastructure Grants dollars to eligible nonprimary airports across Michigan for runway, taxiway, apron, and facility improvements. MDOT serves as the prime recipient administering the sub-award process; ultimate beneficiaries are nonprimary airports within the state.

Performance occurs statewide across Michigan through May 20, 2030. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, capitalized at $14.5 billion over five years under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocates up to $500 million across nonprimary airports nationally for runway, taxiway, safety, sustainability, terminal, airport transit, and roadway projects. States, counties, municipalities, and public agencies with airports listed in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems are eligible; assistance is awarded by lump sum and released upon application for reimbursement of expenses.
