Construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Cape Girardeau City Hall a $796,764.21 project grant on August 19, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). The grant funds the construction of a new 750-foot T-hangar taxilane at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive T-hangar area. This infrastructure improvement brings the airport into conformity with current FAA standards and supports the development of a nationwide system of safe and efficient airports. The project is scheduled for completion by August 18, 2029.

The taxilane construction represents a critical infrastructure investment that enhances airport operational capacity and safety. By providing dedicated airfield access to the T-hangar area, the project supports the airport's long-term economic viability and adequate service to civil aeronautics needs within the region. As the awardee, Cape Girardeau City Hall, a municipal government entity, has demonstrated substantial experience managing FAA Airport Improvement Program grants focused on similar aviation infrastructure improvements at the regional airport level.
