Rugby Municipal Airport Authority received a $105,000 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on July 25, 2025. This award, which is part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, funds Phase 1 design activities for comprehensive pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing projects at Rugby Municipal Airport in North Dakota. The project encompasses design services for the rehabilitation of 7,300 square yards of center apron pavement to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris, along with resealing work on 3,600 linear feet of Runway 12/30, 550 linear feet of Taxilane South, and 720 linear feet of Taxiway A pavement and joints to extend useful life at this nonprimary airport facility.

The grant supports critical infrastructure maintenance activities scheduled for completion by July 24, 2029, with the funding specifically allocated to the initial planning and design phase necessary to prepare the airport's pavement rehabilitation projects. These improvements are intended to enhance aviation safety and operational efficiency for the Rugby Municipal Airport and the surrounding Pierce County region by extending infrastructure lifespan and ensuring adequate pavement conditions to support civil aviation operations.
