Update airport master plan

The City of Fremont, Nebraska received a $451,000 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on May 12, 2025, to update the airport's existing master plan. The project encompasses the development of an updated airport layout plan accompanied by comprehensive master plan narrative documentation. This funding enables the municipality to modernize its airport infrastructure planning and strategic development framework, with the project scheduled for completion by May 11, 2029.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) programs and COVID-19 Airports Programs, supports airport sponsors in developing a nationwide system of public-use airports that meets civil aeronautics needs and supports long-term economic benefits. Master planning represents a foundational element of airport development, establishing the strategic basis for subsequent infrastructure investments. As a prime grant recipient with demonstrated expertise in managing FAA airport development grants, the City of Fremont will maintain the updated airport layout plan throughout the grant agreement period and submit periodic reports documenting project status and expenditures in accordance with program requirements.
