Reconstruct terminal components

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Missouri Department of Transportation a project grant of $5,026,877.89 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 13, 2025, with a completion date of August 12, 2029. This state block grant program funds airport infrastructure improvements for nonprimary airports within Missouri. The grant supports the reconstruction of terminal components and enables MoDOT to administer sub-awards to eligible airports across the state, advancing the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.

Under this grant, the City of Lee's Summit received a sub-award issued on October 30, 2025, to construct a terminal building at its airport facility. The sub-award demonstrates the program's focus on modernizing airport infrastructure, including terminal expansion and development projects that enhance operational capacity at Missouri's regional and nonprimary airports. Through this block grant structure, Missouri airports receive federal funding to support critical infrastructure projects that meet civil aeronautics needs and strengthen the state's airport system.
