Federal Grant Award Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $386,801.05 to Musselshell County through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 25, 2025, for infrastructure rehabilitation projects at Roundup Airport in Montana. The grant funds five distinct pavement and security improvement initiatives: resealing 1,000 feet of hangar taxilane pavement, resealing 5,500 square yards of aircraft parking apron pavement, installing one perimeter access gate to meet current federal standards, resealing 5,100 feet of Runway 7/25 pavement, and resealing 6,500 feet of connector and parallel taxiway pavements. These projects are designed to extend the useful life of existing airport infrastructure through joint and pavement restoration work.

The grant award extends through August 24, 2029, allowing sufficient time for design, permitting, construction, and project closeout. As a civilian airport infrastructure investment, this project aligns with the FAA Office of Airports' strategic objectives of supporting a safe and efficient nationwide airport system. The Airport Improvement Program provides federal funding to public-use airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Airports Systems to support long-term economic benefits and adequate civil aeronautics infrastructure, and this award demonstrates the program's commitment to maintaining regional airport facilities.
