Reconstruct taxiway lighting; reconstruct taxiway; reconstruct runway visual guidance system

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Central Region awarded $309,000 to the City of Fremont on June 8, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to fund a portion of taxiway and runway reconstruction at Fremont Municipal Airport in Fremont, Nebraska.

The project reconstructs 3,500 feet of existing Taxiway A pavement that has reached the end of its useful life, reconstructs parallel taxiway lighting similarly at end-of-life condition, and reconstructs the Runway End Identifier Lights system for Runway 14/32 at both runway thresholds. The reconstruction work is underway through June 7, 2030. This grant funds a portion of the project; an associated FAA Airport Improvement Program grant (CFDA 20.106) funds the remaining eligible portion.
