Reconstruct wind cone/segmented circle; reconstruct runway visual guidance system

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region awarded $319,346.32 to Carrington Airport Authority on June 9, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) for final-phase construction of navigational aids at Carrington Airport in North Dakota.

The grant funds reconstruction of the wind cone and segmented circle navigational aid and replacement of the precision approach path indicator system for runway 13/31 at both runway thresholds. These systems provide pilots with critical airfield information and have reached the end of their useful lives. The project period of performance extends through June 8, 2030. Work is performed in North Dakota at Carrington Airport. The assistance type is a project grant. The grant represents the final construction phase of a multi-year infrastructure modernization effort at the airport; an earlier design-phase grant of $210,000 was awarded June 6, 2025, and a parallel $1.16 million lighting infrastructure grant was awarded the same date as this award.
