Improve existing airport

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation received a $195,162 Project Grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program on May 4, 2021 to improve existing airports in New Hampshire. The award is to be completed by May 3, 2025. Under the grant, the Department will provide sub-awards totaling the $195,162 amount to nine municipal airports and one regional airport across the state to offset revenue declines from diminished airport operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sub-awardees include the cities of Keene, Nashua, Concord, Claremont; the towns of Whitefield, Haverhill, Plymouth, Newport, Berlin; and the Pease Development Authority, which manages Skyhaven Airport. The funding will support continued airport services and operations at these ten facilities that experienced financial difficulties due to the public health emergency.
