Construct service road

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the New Hampshire Department of Transportation a Project Grant totaling $754,900 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 8, 2025, with a completion date of September 7, 2029. This grant supports the construction of a service road as part of the FAA's comprehensive effort to develop and modernize airport infrastructure nationwide. The award facilitates the state's administration of the Airport Improvement Program sub-awards directed toward nonprimary airports within New Hampshire, enabling eligible airport sponsors to undertake critical infrastructure improvements aligned with FAA strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits.

As the designated state block grant administrator, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation will distribute these federal funds to support airport infrastructure development and maintenance at nonprimary public-use airports throughout the state. This funding mechanism allows multiple airport sponsors across New Hampshire to access federal resources for qualifying projects while maintaining centralized state oversight and compliance with FAA requirements, including environmental assessments, accounting records retention, and periodic project status reporting.
