Expand terminal building

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Sioux Falls Regional Airport Authority a $8.42 million Project Grant on August 12, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to support Phase 2 construction of a terminal building expansion. This grant funds the construction of 41,765 square feet as part of a larger 53,852 square-foot expansion project designed to increase the airport's operational capacity and meet current civil aeronautics needs. The project will be completed by August 11, 2029, and is coordinated with an associated Airport Infrastructure Grant that funds the remaining eligible portion of the expansion.

The Airport Improvement Program, administered by the FAA, provides federal funding for airport infrastructure development and modernization across the United States. This award aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment. The Sioux Falls Regional Airport Authority, as the recipient and operator of the Sioux Falls Regional Airport in South Dakota, will deliver the terminal building expansion as a critical infrastructure improvement to support both commercial and general aviation operations in the region.
