Reconstruct terminal parking lot; shift taxiway; construct taxiway; reconstruct taxiway; reconstruct terminal access road; reconstruct airfield equipment

The City of Warroad received a $197,000 Project Grant on September 2, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs and COVID-19 Airports Programs. This Phase 1 design funding supports infrastructure improvements at Warroad Regional Airport in Minnesota, including planning and design services for multiple airport facility upgrades. The scope encompasses design work for reconstructing the terminal parking lot (22,000 square feet), terminal access road (600 feet), and taxiway systems; constructing new taxiway connectors (A2 and A4, 500 feet each); and replacing the airport windcone. Additionally, the project includes design for shifting existing taxiways to achieve conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards.

The grant award reflects the FAA's strategic investment in modernizing airport infrastructure at non-primary facilities to support safe and efficient civil aeronautics operations. With an ultimate completion date of September 1, 2029, the project will provide the necessary design documentation and planning deliverables to support subsequent construction phases that address aging infrastructure and safety compliance requirements at the Warroad airport facility.

Activities and expected outcomes

This project constructs a new 500-foot taxiway connector A2 and new 500-foot taxiway connector A4 to bring the airport into conformity with current standards. This project reconstructs 4,840 feet of existing paved taxiway a and 500 feet of paved taxiway connector A4 that have reached the end of their useful lives. This project reconstructs 600 feet of existing terminal access road that has reached the end of its useful life. This project reconstructs existing 22,000 square foot nonrevenue generating terminal parking lot at nonprimary airport that has reached the end of its useful life. This project replaces the existing windcone that has reached the end of its useful life. This project shifts existing paved taxiway a by 85 feet and taxiway connector A1 by 200 feet to bring the airport into conformity with current standards.
