Construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the City of Shawnee, Oklahoma a Project Grant of $315,789.47 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 19, 2025, to construct airport infrastructure improvements. Specifically, this award funds Phase 2 of a taxilane construction project, consisting of 900 linear feet of new taxilane development. The taxilane will provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area and bring the Shawnee airport into conformity with current federal aviation standards. The project is scheduled for completion by September 18, 2029.

The Airport Improvement Program, which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act appropriations, and COVID-19 relief grants, supports the development and modernization of airport infrastructure nationwide to maintain a comprehensive system of public-use airports adequate to meet civil aeronautics needs. The City of Shawnee's taxilane project is representative of typical AIP investments in regional airport infrastructure, with the city serving as both the grant recipient and project sponsor responsible for managing construction activities and compliance with FAA reporting and recordkeeping requirements throughout the four-year project period.
