Install wind cone/segmented circle; install airport rotating beacon

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Florence City Hall a $187,392.63 Project Grant on September 9, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support navigational aid and safety infrastructure enhancements at Florence-area airports. This Phase 1 design award funds the acquisition, design, and installation of a new wind cone and segmented circle navigational aids, as well as installation of a new airport rotating beacon. These navigational aids provide pilots with critical airfield information and enhance overall airport safety operations.

The project, scheduled for completion by September 8, 2029, represents the FAA's commitment to modernizing airport infrastructure through the Airport Improvement Program, which supports the development and maintenance of public-use airport systems nationwide. Florence City Hall, serving as the municipal recipient, has demonstrated a track record of successfully securing FAA funding for airport infrastructure improvements and community development projects. The Phase 1 funding focus on design activities will establish the technical foundation for subsequent implementation phases of these safety-critical airport improvements.
