Install runway visual guidance system; reconstruct runway visual guidance system

Fayette County received a $276,138.95 Project Grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106), effective August 28, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 27, 2029. The grant funds visual guidance system improvements at Washington Court House Airport in Ohio, specifically installing and reconstructing precision approach path indicator (PAPI) systems and runway end identifier lights (REIL) for Runway 5/23 to bring the airport into conformity with current FAA standards.

The project comprises four distinct components: installation of a PAPI system at the Runway 5 threshold, installation of REIL at the Runway 5 threshold, reconstruction of the PAPI system at the Runway 23 threshold (which has reached the end of its useful life), and reconstruction of REIL at the Runway 23 threshold (similarly obsolete). These infrastructure improvements support the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by enhancing airport navigational capabilities and ensuring compliance with current civil aeronautics standards.
