The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Missouri Department of Transportation $2,376,184.21 on September 2, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to serve as a state block grant administrator for nonprimary airport infrastructure projects throughout Missouri. This project grant, with a completion date of September 1, 2029, enables MoDOT to oversee and distribute federal funding for airport improvement sub-awards to eligible municipalities within the state, supporting infrastructure modernization and maintenance at nonprimary airports.

The grant funds a comprehensive portfolio of airport infrastructure improvements, including runway resurfacing and rehabilitation, taxiway reconstruction, apron reconstruction, runway land acquisition and easements, and airport master plan updates, along with associated planning studies. Specific sub-awardees include the City of Sedalia ($XX) for runway rehabilitation, the City of Lebanon ($XX) for taxilane reconstruction, the City of Camdenton ($XX) for land acquisition, the City of Harrisonville ($XX) for construction analysis, and the City of Mountain View ($XX) for runway rehabilitation. These sub-awards, issued between December 2025 and April 2026, collectively support critical airfield safety and operational improvements across Missouri's nonprimary airport system to ensure adequate civil aeronautics infrastructure.
