Construct airport drainage/erosion control

The City of Hastings, Nebraska received a $318,947.37 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs, with an award date of July 25, 2025, and an ultimate completion date of July 24, 2029. This grant funds the construction of new airport drainage controls and erosion control infrastructure at Hastings Municipal Airport to reduce foreign object debris and bring the airport into conformity with current FAA standards.

The project represents a critical infrastructure investment in airport safety and operational compliance. As a civilian airport improvement initiative, the drainage and erosion control improvements will enhance the airport's infrastructure resilience while supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence.
