The project involves shifting existing Paved Taxiway A by 150 feet to bring the airport into conformity with current Federal Aviation Administration standards. This grant funds a portion of the eligible design phase costs, with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant providing the remaining eligible project funding. The award is expected to be completed by September 17, 2029.
