The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant totaling $5,255,447.37 on September 2, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106) to the Missouri Department of Transportation. Funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to increase the federal cost share to 100 percent, this grant administers the Airport Improvement Program as a state block grant program for nonprimary airports within Missouri. The grant encompasses design and construction activities with a project completion deadline of September 1, 2029.

The specific project components include runway and lighting reconstruction at Cassville Municipal Airport (94K) located in Missouri's 7th Congressional District. The project reconstructs 3,599 feet of existing paved Runway 9/27 that has reached the end of its useful life and replaces associated runway lighting infrastructure. A sub-award of $4,600,000 was issued to the City of Cassville on October 15, 2025, to execute the runway reconstruction work. The grant also allocated $392,675 to Cassville Municipal Airport.
