Reconstruct taxiway; reconstruct runway

The City of Roseau received a $3.81 million Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 5, 2025, for the reconstruction of critical airport infrastructure. The award funds the final construction phase of a comprehensive airport modernization project that includes the reconstruction of 4,400 feet of Runway 16/34 and 5,780 feet of Taxiway A and associated connectors at Roseau Municipal Airport. Both the runway and taxiway have reached the end of their useful lives and require complete reconstruction to maintain safe, operational airport facilities. The project is scheduled for completion by August 4, 2029.

This grant reflects the FAA's commitment to supporting the development and maintenance of public-use airports through the Airport Improvement Program, which funds infrastructure investments to ensure a safe and efficient national airport system. The reconstruction project will directly benefit the Roseau airport and enhance regional aviation infrastructure by extending the service life of critical airfield pavements and supporting long-term civil aeronautics needs for the northern Minnesota region.
