Construct terminal

The City of Ponca City received a $311,580 project grant awarded on August 28, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses traditional Airport Improvement Program funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grant programs. This Phase 1 grant funds the design and planning services for the construction of a new 14,000 square foot passenger terminal facility at Ponca City Regional Airport in Oklahoma.

The grant supports critical airport infrastructure modernization by funding the architectural and engineering design phase for a terminal expansion project intended to accommodate increased passenger and baggage movement. With an ultimate completion date of August 27, 2029, the project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while supporting long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. This design-phase funding represents a typical initial step in airport development projects under the Airport Improvement Program, which frequently ranges from approximately $300,000 for planning projects to substantially larger amounts for full construction initiatives.
