The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration, through its Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106), awarded Dickinson Municipal Airport Authority $2,256,361.11 in Project Grant funding. The grant will support infrastructure projects at Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport in North Dakota through April 2027 that enhance safety, accessibility, and pavement conditions. Specific projects include extending the runway to meet safety area standards, reconstructing lighting systems on runways and taxiways, sealing pavement surfaces, and installing approach path indicators and a replacement wind cone. Past grants have similarly funded navigational aids, emergency vehicles, lighting, and signage. Additional past awards have provided over $3 million in COVID-19 relief assistance to the airport for operations, debt payments, cleaning services, and concessions impacted by the pandemic. The funding advances the FAA's strategic goals of safety, infrastructure improvement, and ensuring continued airport operations.

Activities and expected outcomes

This project extends and shifts runway 14/32 to 7,300 feet to meet runway safety area and protection zone standards. This project installs replacement runway 7/25 end identifier lights to make the airport more accessible by improving approaches to the runway ends. This project installs replacement runway 7/25 precision approach path indicators at this commercial service airport. This project performs crack repair and joint filling to 135 feet of the existing east hangar taxilane surface to extend the pavement's useful life. . This project performs crack repair and joint filling to 170 feet of the existing west hangar taxilane surface to extend the pavement's useful life. . This project performs crack repair and joint filling to 33,000 square yards of the existing west general aviation apron surface to extend the pavement's useful life. This project reconstructs the taxiway D lighting system that has reached the end of its useful life and requires reconstruction to meet federal aviation administration standards. . This project reconstructs the existing runway 7/25 lighting system that has reached the end of its useful life and requires reconstruction to meet federal aviation administration standards. This project reconstructs the existing airport rotating beacon that has reached the end of its useful life. This project replaces the airport's wind cone that has reached the end of its useful life and no longer meets federal aviation administration design standards. . This grant funds the final phase, which consists of installing taxiway a medium intensity lights, pavement markings, and signage. . The FAA worked with the nation's 14 CFR part 139 certificated airports to complete all practical improvements to runway safety area prior to the deadline of december 31, 2015. However, some airports, including this one, continue to pursue further improvements as they become feasible. Intended beneficiary: this grant will provide federal funding for airports associated with dickinson, north dakota.
