Reconstruct runway lighting; reconstruct taxiway lighting; reconstruct airport rotating beacon; reconstruct airport lighting vault equipment; reconstruct airfield equipment

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $237,500 in Project Grant funding through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to the Cambridge Area Regional Airport Authority on September 11, 2025, for design-phase infrastructure reconstruction at Cambridge Flight Center in Cambridge, Ohio. This Phase 1 award funds the design and planning necessary to reconstruct runway 4/22 lighting systems, taxiway A lighting systems, and airport lighting vault equipment that have reached the end of their useful life. The grant also supports design for replacement of the existing airport rotating beacon and wind cone equipment.

The project is expected to conclude by September 10, 2029, and will directly benefit aviation infrastructure serving the Cambridge, Ohio region. As a design-phase project, this award establishes the technical foundation for subsequent construction phases that will modernize critical airfield lighting and safety equipment at the regional airport facility, supporting the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence in the national airport system.
