Construct perimeter fencing; extend/expand taxilane; reseal/resurface taxilane

The City of Glencoe received a $180,814.74 Project Grant award dated September 18, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to fund Phase 1 design activities for three airport infrastructure projects at Glencoe Municipal Airport in Glencoe, Minnesota. The project scope includes: construction of 180 feet of perimeter fencing to meet current airport standards; extension of existing hangar taxilanes by 349 feet to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area; and resealing of 1,875 feet of existing hangar taxilane pavement to extend its useful life and maintain operational safety.

This award represents the FAA's commitment to supporting critical infrastructure improvements at non-primary airports nationwide. The project period extends through September 17, 2029, allowing sufficient time for design completion and subsequent construction phases. Upon completion, these improvements will bring Glencoe Municipal Airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards and ensure continued safe and efficient airport operations for the local community and aviation users.
