Reseal/resurface runway; acquire snow removal equipment

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Wayne County Commissioner $973,273.68 under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106) on June 30, 2025, to support airport infrastructure improvements at the Wooster, Ohio airport facility. The project, with an ultimate completion date of June 29, 2029, encompasses two primary deliverables: the acquisition of snow removal equipment consisting of one truck with a towed runway broom to enhance the airport's capability to clear priority airfield areas during adverse weather conditions, and the resealing of 5,189 linear feet of existing Runway 10/28 pavement at the non-primary airport to extend its operational useful life.

These airport infrastructure improvements directly support the FAA's strategic objectives of enhancing safety and operational excellence within the nationwide airport system. The grant funding enables critical maintenance and equipment acquisition activities necessary to ensure safe and efficient airport operations while supporting the long-term sustainability of civil aviation infrastructure in the Great Lakes Region.
