The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) a Project Grant totaling $2,797,913.68 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 21, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 20, 2029. This grant establishes a state block grant program through which MoDOT administers sub-awards to support airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Missouri. The program funds runway, taxiway, and apron resurfacing and resealing; hangar construction and expansion; taxiway reconstruction; and airfield signage and markings improvements.

MoDOT has distributed sub-awards to six airport entities across Missouri as of the grant award date, including the City of Dexter, City of Houston, City of Rolla, City of Sikeston, Clay County, and Creve Coeur Airport Improvement Corporation. Sub-award projects address specific airport infrastructure needs, including runway pavement markings, runway repairs and taxilane reconstruction, taxiway lighting reconstruction, and airfield pavement maintenance. These coordinated investments strengthen Missouri's nonprimary airport infrastructure system to support civil aeronautical needs and economic development across the state.
