Reconstruct access road; reconstruct airfield signage/markings

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region awarded $130,000 to the Ellendale Municipal Airport Authority on July 23, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) for reconstruction of airport access road and airfield signage and markings at Ellendale Municipal Airport in North Dakota.

The project reconstructs 2,200 feet of hangar area airport access road that has reached the end of its useful life and reconstructs existing airfield markings that have reached the end of their useful lives. The grant funds three phases of design work: Phase 1 consists of design of apron markings (2,500 square yards); Phase 2 consists of design of Runway 13/31 markings; Phase 3 consists of design of Taxiway A markings (250 feet by 30 feet). The period of performance extends from July 23, 2026, through July 22, 2030. Performance occurs in North Dakota.

The Airport Infrastructure Grants program provides funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for runway, taxiway, safety, sustainability, terminal, airport transit connection, and roadway projects at eligible airports in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems.
