Install wind cone/segmented circle; construct/expand snow removal equipment building

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Western Pacific Region, awarded Eureka County a $1,299,261.05 Project Grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 25, 2025, to support critical airport infrastructure improvements in Eureka, Nevada. The grant funds two primary deliverables: the acquisition and installation of a new wind cone navigational aid to enhance pilot situational awareness and airfield safety, and the construction of a new 1,600 square foot snow removal equipment building designed to bring airport facilities into compliance with current operational standards.

This award represents targeted investment in rural airport infrastructure through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, which supports the development and modernization of public-use airports nationwide. The project period extends through August 24, 2029, providing Eureka County with a four-year implementation timeline to complete both the navigational aid installation and building construction. These infrastructure improvements will directly benefit regional aviation operations and enhance the airport's operational capabilities and regulatory compliance.
