Construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Madison County Airport Authority a $523,250.53 project grant on July 31, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct taxilane infrastructure at Madison County Airport in London, Ohio. This award funds Phase 2 of a multi-phase taxilane development project, specifically the construction of 493 feet of new taxilane designed to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area. The project extends through July 30, 2029, and is intended to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards. This represents part of a larger 600-foot taxilane initiative funded through three separate federal grants totaling $636,738.95.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA, provides federal funding to support the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide through traditional appropriations, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding, and COVID-19 relief programs. Madison County Airport Authority, operating as a division of Madison County Commissioners, has been a consistent recipient of Federal Aviation Administration grants for critical airport infrastructure projects, including previous runway rehabilitation and taxiway reconstruction initiatives. Grant recipients must maintain airport layout plans throughout the grant agreement period (typically 20 years) and retain accounting records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports.
