Construct perimeter fencing

The City of Grove received a $212,700 project grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct airport perimeter security infrastructure. The award, issued on September 16, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 15, 2029, funds the construction of 650 feet of perimeter fencing and two gates at Grove Regional Airport. These improvements are designed to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Regulation standards and enhance facility security without requiring compliance with the specific regulations outlined in 49 CFR 1542.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA's Office of Airports, supports the development and modernization of public-use airports nationwide to ensure adequate infrastructure meeting civil aeronautics needs. This grant represents a continuation of Grove's participation in FAA-funded airport infrastructure projects, complementing previous investments in runway rehabilitation and facility improvements at Grove Regional Airport.
