Reconstruct runway lighting; install wind cone/segmented circle; install airport rotating beacon; reconstruct runway visual guidance system

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region awarded the City of Brookings $196,436.84 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) on May 20, 2026, to fund Phase 2 construction of runway lighting and navigational aids at Brookings Airport in Gold Beach, Oregon.

The project reconstructs Runway 12/30 lighting systems that have reached the end of their useful life, including precision approach path indicator (PAPI) systems at both runway ends and runway end identifier lights (REIL) at each end. The award also funds installation of a new wind cone navigational aid and an airport rotating beacon to enhance safety and provide pilots with critical airfield information. The period of performance extends through May 19, 2030. This grant is associated with a companion Airport Infrastructure Grant that funds the remaining eligible portion of the project.
