Construct/expand fuel farm; expand apron

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a Project Grant of $597,680 to the Henry County Airport Authority on August 19, 2025, through the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support infrastructure improvements at the Napoleon, Ohio airport. The grant funds the final construction phase of two complementary projects: installation of a new card reader system at an existing fuel pump facility to enhance revenue generation and operational self-sustainability, and expansion of the general aviation apron by 1,700 square yards to bring the facility into conformance with current aviation standards.

These infrastructure improvements are designed to modernize the airport's facilities and support its long-term viability as a regional transportation asset. The project has an anticipated completion date of August 18, 2029, allowing adequate time for construction execution and closeout activities. As a civilian public-use airport facility, the Napoleon airport is eligible for funding under the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, which supports the development and maintenance of the nation's airport system to meet civil aeronautics needs and generate long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.
