Update airport master plan

The City of Canton received a $190,840 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106), awarded on August 20, 2025, with a completion date of August 19, 2029. This grant funds a portion of a comprehensive airport master plan update project that includes updating the existing airport layout plan and developing supporting master plan narrative documentation for Canton's municipal airport. The project is part of a coordinated funding approach in which this grant covers eligible expenses while an associated Airport Improvement Program grant funds the remaining eligible project costs.

The deliverables under this award consist of planning and documentation services that establish comprehensive guidance for the airport's long-term infrastructure development and operational needs. As a planning-phase project typical of FAA Airport Improvement Program investments, the master plan update will provide the airport sponsor with current strategic planning documentation necessary for future capital improvement decisions and federal grant applications. Upon completion, the updated airport layout plan and master plan narrative will be maintained for the duration of the grant agreement, consistent with FAA requirements that airport layout plans remain current throughout the 20-year grant period.
