Construct perimeter fencing

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration New England Region awarded the New Hampshire Department of Transportation $303,237.89 on August 7, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to construct perimeter fencing at nonprimary airports and administer Airport Improvement Program sub-awards for eligible facilities within the state. The award is structured as a state block grant that passes funding through to individual nonprimary airports across New Hampshire for infrastructure development projects. Performance is scheduled through August 6, 2030, with work taking place in New Hampshire. The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocates up to $500 million nationally for nonprimary airport improvements including runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, and terminal-related work. Grant recipients must maintain current airport layout plans for the duration of the grant agreement (ordinarily 20 years) and retain accounting records for three years after final expenditure reporting; periodic project status reports detailing bid, award, work commencement, and completion milestones are required. Environmental impact assessment is required for this listing, and preapplication coordination with the state point of contact is mandatory.
