Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Clark County Airport System a $2.66 million Project Grant on June 16, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to reconstruct five security perimeter gates at airports serving the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. The project addresses critical safety infrastructure required by 49 CFR 1542 that has reached the end of its useful life. The grant, with an ultimate completion date of June 15, 2030, will fund the complete reconstruction and modernization of these essential security gates to ensure continued compliance with federal aviation security regulations.

This project represents a targeted capital improvement initiative within the broader Airport Infrastructure Grants program, which distributes federal funding across the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to support airport modernization and safety enhancements at eligible public-use airports. As a local government entity responsible for managing multiple airports in the Las Vegas region, Clark County Airport System (Department of Aviation) will utilize the federal funding to execute this perimeter security infrastructure upgrade as part of its ongoing commitment to maintain airport safety and security standards.
