Reconstruct snow removal equipment

The City of Mora received a $424,100 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Great Lakes Region, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 24, 2025, with an anticipated completion date of July 23, 2029. This award funds the reconstruction and replacement of snow removal equipment at Mora Municipal Airport, including acquisition of one carrier vehicle with plow attachment that has reached the end of its useful life. The project directly supports critical airport infrastructure maintenance and operational safety for the Mora airport facility serving the Minnesota community.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP (Airport Improvement Program) funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and legacy COVID-19 relief grants, provides federal funding to support the development, modernization, and maintenance of airport infrastructure nationwide. As a repeat recipient of FAA grants, the City of Mora has demonstrated a consistent track record of effectively managing airport infrastructure projects, with prior awards supporting runway reconstruction, taxiway rehabilitation, lighting system upgrades, and equipment acquisitions at its municipal airport facility.
